This is the shocking moment a passenger who missed her flight in Colombia smashed up the staff’s computers after flying into a rage.
The air rage attack was recorded by an employee of Viva Air at José María Córdova Airport, near Medellin, on Sunday.
The woman, who has not been named, had booked herself on to a flight to Bogota which was scheduled to depart at 11.40am, but arrived at the airport at 12.10pm.

A woman who arrived at Colombia’s José María Córdova Airport, near Medellin, half an hour after her flight departed attacked staff and smashed their computers after realising her error
She was informed that she had missed her flight and was directed to the sales desk where the attack took place.
In the footage, the woman can be heard shouting ‘son of a b**ch’ at the Viva Air workers before reaching over the desk and grabbing a computer screen.
She then smashes the screen on to the desk and allows it to fall on to the floor.
While still ranting at the staff member recording the incident on their phone, she attempts to smash up another monitor at the next desk.
The woman then tries to force her way into the staff cubicle – with the employee having to hold the door shut – whilst striking out at them.
A few light blows are exchanged before a uniformed man arrives and restrains her.
Colonel Giovanny Buitrago Beltrán, of the Antioquia Police, said: ‘The National Police proceeded to capture her for the crime of damage to someone else’s property, apparently the citizen was under the influence of alcohol.’
Officers also helped the airline workers pick up the damaged screens.
