Alex was akin to the boogie man in the eyes of a lot of people, and at the moment he had a personal fight with a well known Automobile industry.
Normally it would have been better if they had talked things out, but it was obvious Alex wanted to spill someone's blood, and because he was the one who had been offended, nobody could really get up to defend the Aenz company. Besides the Airship was not perfect, contrary to what the company had told them, there were too many flaws with the airship and no one else but Alex could actually fly it.
