Welcome to Naughty Passengers, Volume No. 6,882.
An argument between two women over who gets to exit the plane first devolved into an all-out fistfight last week.
The incident happened on American Airlines Flight 2275 after it landed on Phoenix and taxied to the gate. American confirmed it to Fox News.
“American received a report of an alleged altercation between two customers while waiting to deplane from flight 2275 from Los Angeles (LAX) to Phoenix (PHX),” a spokesperson said.
A passenger on the plane took a video of the incident and posted it to her Twitter account, @katebytheocean0.
In the clip, several passengers can be seen standing in the aisle, presumably in preparation to deplane. Footage of the women fighting is taken from a distance and can barely be seen, but shouting and screaming — from the brawlers and the frustrated passengers — can be heard in the video.
In what is becoming an all-too-often occurrence on flights, a crew member says over the intercom to “Call for law enforcement, call for law enforcement.”
Update: almost missed my connecting flight with @AmericanAir in Phoenix because two girls decided to fist fight over who was getting off the plane first. I can’t. pic.twitter.com/31SWk7Yyga
