Bizarre footage from inside the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner showed the cockpit door wide open while the plane was still at Brazil 's Sao Paulo airport.
Flight attendants can be seen struggling to get the door closed before a woman makes an odd intervention by trying to storm the cockpit.
The middle-aged smartly-dressed passenger confronts the staff - sparking a squabble.
The crew member can be heard telling the first-class passenger: "Get out, get out."
As the pair continue to argue the crew member ends up taking the woman down to the ground as she continues to protest.
Another flight attendant then restrains her and escorts her back to her first-class seat.
Baffled passengers watched on as the woman is ushered past them.
One angry flyer is seen standing up in his seat, demanding an explanation from the woman.
He is heard screaming in fury at the woman - visibly upset by her rash behaviour.
The woman reportedly made her strange coup attempt after complaining about the delayed takeoff.

Both passengers were handed over to police after the jet returned to the boarding gate following the confrontation.
The shocking ordeal took place on American Airlines flight AA950 bound for JFK on April 24, according to local media.
The quick brawl delayed the flight by more than two hours, according to the FlightAware tracking website.
American Airlines confirmed the brawl, and said that the flight returned to the gate due to a "safety problem on board".
The airline said: 'The safety of our customers and employees is our top priority and we thank everyone for their understanding.
"The aircraft was received by police officers."
They confirmed that the flight took off finally by 12:55am local time.
Last month, shocking footage captured the moment two angry passengers clashed over a reclined seat while on a busy flight to Bali.
The pair got into a heated argument before attempting to get physical with one another.
And an easyJet flight was forced to make an emergency landing after two families got into a row over a boy watching The Karate Kid.
The child was watching The Karate Kid (2010) on his iPad when a woman four rows in front became annoyed and asked him to turn it off.
The boy's mum, 26, claims he was shouted at and racially abused so hit out at the woman before alleging a man grabbed her disabled other-half by the neck.

Shock moment easyJet passenger is tackled in mid-air after 'Allahu Akbar' shouts

Video from onboard an easyJet flight shows the moment a passenger screams 'Allahu Akbar' and makes claims about a 'bomb' before being pinned down Dramatic footage captured onboard an easyJet flight shows passengers restraining a man who shouted about a bomb, prompting an emergency landing at Glasgow Airport. ‌ In the video, chaos unfolds in the cramped cabin as a man raises his hands and shouts 'Allahu Akbar'. He can also be heard mentioning a "bomb" and moments later yells 'death to America' and 'death to Trump'. The recording shows passengers swiftly intervening, wrestling the man to the ground and pinning him against the aisle floor. A person in a green jacket is seen approaching the man and dragging him to the ground. ‌ The plane made an emergency landing after the incident unfolded. "The pilot announced he was making an emergency landing and took the plane down so quickly," one passenger, who did not wish to be named, told The Sun. ‌ The witness added: "He literally came out of the toilet shouting 'Allahu Akbar' with his hands above his head. Then he said 'I've got a bomb, I've got a bomb' - at this point people were confused. I thought he was joking, I mean it's a weird joke." Once the plane was on the ground at Glasgow Airport, police boarded the flight and removed the man. Police confirmed a 41-year-old man was arrested, and counter-terrorism officers are reviewing the footage now circulating on social media. ‌ An easyJet spokesperson said: "Flight EZY609 from Luton to Glasgow this morning was met by police on arrival in Glasgow, where they boarded the aircraft and removed a passenger due to their behaviour onboard. "EasyJet's crew are trained to assess all situations and act quickly and appropriately to ensure that the safety of the flight and other customers is not compromised at any time. The safety and wellbeing of our customers and crew is always easyJet's highest priority." A Police Scotland spokesman added: "We received a report of a man causing a disturbance on a flight arriving in Glasgow around 8.20am on Sunday, 27 July, 2025. A 41-year-old man was arrested in connection and further enquiries are ongoing. "At this time we believe the incident was contained and that nobody else was involved. We are aware of videos circulating online and these are being assessed by counter terrorism officers.'

EasyJet passenger arrested after shouting ‘Allahu Akbar' on flight

An easyJet passenger has been arrested after allegedly shouting 'Allahu Akbar' on a flight. Witnesses said the man claimed to have a bomb on the plane, which was flying from Luton to Glasgow on Sunday morning. Footage shows the man at the back of the aircraft, standing up and shouting: 'Stop the plane. 'Find the bomb on the plane. Death to America. Death to Trump.' He then allegedly shouted 'Allahu Akbar' three times, which means God is the greatest in Arabic. He was pinned down by three passengers, while air hostesses climbed on the seats to obtain the man's bags. Trump is currently on a four-day visit to Scotland. A 41-year-old man was detained at the scene and remains in custody, Police Scotland said. Officers who had been waiting on the tarmac handcuffed the man and removed him from the aircraft. A witness, who wished to remain anonymous, told the Sun he woke at around 8am to hear the man coming out of the plane's lavatory shouting that he had a bomb. 'He literally came out of the toilet shouting 'Allahu Akbar' with his hands above his head,' he said. 'Then he said 'I've got a bomb, I've got a bomb' – at this point people were confused.' The 39-year-old added: 'He pushed the airline staff and was being aggressive towards them. He was a big guy, about six foot and they were these petite women. 'When he pushed them, that's when things changed.' The witness said an emergency landing took place after an announcement by the pilot before police swarmed on to make the arrest. 'The main copper said, 'Look, don't mess about or you'll go straight down,'' he added. 'By this point the guy had calmed down. He'd admitted he didn't have a bomb. He gave up.' 'Footage being assessed by counter terrorism officers' A Police Scotland spokesman said: 'We received a report of a man causing a disturbance on a flight arriving in Glasgow around 8.20am on Sunday, 27 July, 2025. 'Officers boarded the plane on its arrival and a 41-year-old man was arrested and remains in custody. Enquiries are continuing. 'At this time we believe the incident was contained and that nobody else was involved. 'We are aware of videos circulating online and these are being assessed by counter terrorism officers.'
