A
woman is facing several charges after she allegedly assaulted a flight attendant and threatened to kill passengers while onboard a
flight to Philadelphia.
It happened on November 20, 2023, on Frontier Airlines flight 4944 from Orlando, Florida to
Philadelphia International Airport.
Authorities say the plane was preparing to land when Dulce Huertas, 60, got out of her seat and stated she needed to go to the bathroom.
The woman, who was reportedly served two alcoholic drinks, is accused of yelling and cursing at the flight attendant after being told to stay seated.

Authorities say security was called after Huertas started cursing at passengers around her after the plane landed.
“Once the plane arrived at the gate and the seatbelt sign was turned off — but before any external doors were opened to allow passengers to leave the aircraft — Huertas resumed her aggressive behavior and pushed passengers out of the way as she moved to the front of the plane,” according to a criminal complaint.
