VIDEO: Woman Chases Plane After Missing Flight in Indonesia

A woman in Indonesia is making headlines after video footage surfaced of her running onto a tarmac and chasing a plane after she was reportedly late to her flight.

According to ChannelNewsAsia.com, Citilink Flight QG193 was preparing to take off from Ngurah Rai International Airport in Bali on a journey to Soekarno-Hatta International Airport in Jakarta when the incident occurred.

The unidentified woman reportedly failed to arrive in time for boarding despite checking in over 20 minutes early and airline officials making three calls and a final warning. As the plane pulled away from the gate without her onboard, she arrived and panicked.

The woman decided to make a run for the plane and made it to the tarmac before she was intercepted by airport security personnel. She attempted to fight off the employees and run toward the plane, but she eventually fell to the ground and was detained.

Officials walked the woman back inside the airport terminal and calmed her down. She was then booked on another flight to Jakarta, which departed a few hours later.
