- Avianca terminated its contract with an influencer for "disruptive" behavior that affected onboard safety and order.
- The substance, reportedly a "chemical fart," spread through the cabin, causing discomfort.
- A legal expert stated that Cossio might not face criminal charges unless there was intent to cause panic, but civil and contractual repercussions from Avianca are likely.
