The plane was forced to return to the gate after taking off so Epstein could be kicked off the flight, which reportedly increased her anger.<\/p>\n<p>Epstein allegedly became violent toward the police officers on the jetway bridge and invoked her uncle and former President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDo you know who I am?

No statement has been made at this time. Christie, a 2016 Republican presidential candidate, has not commented on the alleged altercation.<\/p>\n<p>A growing number of incidents regarding unruly passengers has occurred over the past two years, many in connection with mask-wearing requirements on airplanes during COVID restrictions. In 2021, 1,099 unruly passenger cases were documented but the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), with numbers dropping but still high, with 767 so far in 2022.<\/p>\n<p>Bryan Del Monte, president of The Aviation Agency, said last year that he supports Delta Air Lines CEO Ed Bastian\u2019s call for a national \u201cno-fly\u201d list for unruly passengers, though the idea has not moved forward. Bastian said Delta had banned at least 1,900 people for mask-related issues alone. The airline also says it increased self-defense training for flight attendants and front-line employees.<\/p>\n<p><em>Dillon Burroughs contributed to this report.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The niece of former Republican New Jersey Governor Chris Christie allegedly hurled racial insults at Latino passengers on a Spirit Airlines flight in New Orleans in late November before violently attacking multiple police officers who were trying to get her to leave the jetway after she was kicked off the flight.
