A Montreal-bound Air Canada flight from Morocco was canceled after a flight attendant was caught on camera angrily confronting a passenger who had reportedly requested a blanket. 

Video of the incident on Friday’s Flight AC73 from Casablanca shows the enraged female flight attendant gesturing and yelling at an unseen passenger in both English and French.

“You will behave or we will get off!” the flight crew member shouts in the now-viral footage captured by another passenger. 

“I don’t want no bullying against my crew!” Ignoring a request to get the captain, she storms up the aisle before turning around and shouting, “Everyone behave! Be quiet … or you’re getting off.”

The meltdown was reportedly triggered by a passenger asking for a blanket, according to CTV News. 

Air Canada confirmed that the flight was canceled, with a different crew brought in to take the passengers to their destination on Sunday. 

Passengers were also offered compensation for both the delay and the unsettling incident, the airline told CTV News.

“We are taking this incident very seriously,” spokesperson Christophe Hennebell said. “It is under review, and we will take appropriate action. We apologize to our customers and deeply regret that their experience today fell far short of what they have come to expect when flying with Air Canada.”

On Sunday, a United Airlines flight was diverted after a “biohazard” situation left crew members vomiting and passengers asking for masks. 

The Boston-bound flight took off from Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport but was forced to touch down in Washington, DC, for a “deep clean” after a passenger became ill, the airline told The Post.
