“They hijacked our EMTRASUR flight, violating all existing regulations governing international civil aviation. Our pilots and crew were released after it was proved that there was no evidence against them. They are illegally detaining the aircraft without reason and in the process, sending a collection notice for the month of parking in June 2022. Damn! Shameless!”, the officer revealed on his X account.
