Khabib Nurmagomedov was removed from a Frontier Airlines flight after a disagreement with crew over his exit row seat
Khabib, the former MMA champ, took to social media to share his side of the story. He mentioned that the flight attendants were rude and questioned why he was in that seat.
In a video that made the rounds online, you can see him chatting with a crew member. She told him they weren’t comfortable with him sitting there and that he’d need to switch seats or leave the plane.
Khabib felt it was unfair and decided to leave rather than cause a scene. Initially, some folks thought it was an Alaska Airlines flight, but he cleared that up, saying it was Frontier.
He expressed that the crew member was quite rude from the start, even though he communicated well in English. After a couple of minutes, security was called, and he was escorted off.
After waiting for a bit, he managed to catch another flight to his destination. He shared that he tried to stay calm and respectful throughout the ordeal, suggesting the crew could have handled things better.
Frontier Airlines acknowledged the incident and said they’re looking into it, but they haven’t commented further yet.
