Dissatisfied with the landing airport, some Nigerian passengers tried to invade the cockpit of the aircraft to speak with the pilots, however, a company security guard pulled a gun and pointed it at the passengers as a measure to prevent anyone from entering the cockpit.
In addition, Royal Jordanian said that the disagreement occurred months ago and only now the video went viral, including the airline announced that it would sue anyone who 'attempted to tarnish its reputation with false rumours'.
