A video of the woman struggling as two airport officials held her by her arms was posted on social media.

The woman can be seen lying on the ground before she is restrained.

The low-cost Indonesian airline has since confirmed the incident, but did not address how the woman managed to pass through airport security so easily

After the woman was declared "safe to fly," Citilink placed her on a later flight at 4:40pm, Coconuts Bali reported.

PT Citilink Indonesia VP Corporate & CSR Secretary Ranty Astari R denied that the woman was given a free ticket, and explained that they merely allowed her to reschedule her flight.
