A flight operated by Air France witnessed an unusual brawl between two pilots in the cockpit, according to La Tribune newspaper.
The source stated that Air France arrested two pilots following they quarreled in the middle of a flight they were on between Geneva and Paris last June.
He explained that shortly following take-off, the flight attendants heard the brawl, and when they entered the cabin they found the pilots fighting with hands.
The flight crew intervened to end the quarrel, and one of them was transferred to another location for the remainder of the flight, while the cause of the quarrel remained unclear.
A spokesman for the airline said that what happened was “completely inappropriate behaviour,” noting that an investigation had been opened into the incident.
The Civil Aviation Office also stated that it had not been notified of the incident, “because there were no consequences for the flight, which landed safely in Paris.”
