A Ryanair passenger reportedly missed her flight to Morocco and was later filmed banging on the departure gate window in an apparent attempt to stop the aircraft from leaving.
In the viral video, airport staff can be heard calmly explaining that the scheduled departure time is when the aircraft leaves the gate, rather than the latest time a passenger can board. It appears the traveler may have misunderstood the timing and believed she could still board until the listed departure time.
However, boarding had already closed and the flight departed as scheduled. The incident was initially reported as occurring at Manchester Airport, but the location was later corrected to London Stansted Airport.
The unusual scene has sparked reactions online, with many travelers pointing out the importance of arriving at the gate well before the scheduled departure time.
