Air hostess 'fist fight' causes flight delay

PA

Two Syrian air hostesses caused a flight delay after getting into a 'fist fight' over the political crisis in their country.

The Saudi Arabian Airlines flight was late in taking off after what began as a political disagreement turned into a brawl.

According to the Telegraph, the women got embroiled in a fight at Dubai Airport over the fact that one supported the Syrian regime and the other opposed it, and both had to be pulled apart by security officers.

Fights between flight attendants are reportedly becoming a problem ever since the conflict in Syria began, with polarised political opinions sparking furious debates.

Saudi Arabian Airlines have reportedly now even banned cabin crew from political activity or discussion while on duty for fear it is hindering customer satisfaction and damaging the airline's reputation.
