As she continues that the crew can only serve what his boarding pass states, he shouts: “Why are you yelling?”

Later he asks the woman: “Why are you yelling? Why are you yelling? Shut up.”
She responds: “You shut up!”
The argument concludes with the crew member telling the man: “I am an employee. I am not your servant.”
She then places a protective face mask around her mouth and nose and leaves along with another flight attendant.
A spokesperson for IndiGo told MailOnline: “We are aware of the incident that took place on flight 6E 12 from Istanbul to Delhi on 16 December, 2022.
