Doha, Qatar: A request to switch seats before take-off led to a mid-air brawl and panic among passengers prompting the airlines to divert and make emergency landing.
Footage published by the Sun showed the scene inside a Ryanair flight to London that was forced to divert to Marrakech within 30 minutes of take-off last week on July 3, 2024.
Flight RUK3034 was preparing for take-off from Agadir, Morocco, when a man in his 20s reportedly requested a woman sitting with her daughter if he could switch seats to be with his wife and kids.
The woman allegedly refused which prompted the man to start threatening her.
When the flight was 30,000 feet in the sky, and after the seat belt sign was turned off, the husband of the female passenger who was threatened came to his wife's defence that ended up with both the passengers throwing punches at each other.
