A seemingly peaceful journey took a dramatic turn when a group of women were confronted for speaking loudly mid-air. The incident occurred on an AirAsia flight from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to Chengdu, China. In the now-viral video circulating on social media, a full-blown brawl unfolds during the four-hour flight.
The altercation began when a male passenger seated behind the group of women asked them to lower their voices, clearly frustrated by their loud conversation. According to fellow passengers, the group continued chatting loudly even after the cabin lights were dimmed. Tensions escalated when the man allegedly called them “stupid” and told them to “shut up.”
The comment instantly triggered one of the women, who stood up on her seat, climbed over, and punched the man. Another woman quickly joined in, repeatedly hitting him as he tried to shield himself behind the food tray. What started as a verbal exchange quickly spiralled into chaos, with multiple passengers getting involved in the mid-air scuffle.
AirAsia’s Statement After The Incident
Following the incident, AirAsia issued an official statement highlighting how its crew handled the situation professionally, adhering to proper protocols. They shared that the incident did not impact flight operations, but they urged passengers to be respectful towards each other during flights.
