Panic gripped passengers onboard a Pakistan International Airline (PIA) flight arriving from Quetta to Islamabad after two Afghan citizens got into a fist fight.

A video of the fight went viral on social media, in which two passengers could be seen engaged in a fierce fight while other passengers moving themselves as well as their children away from the brawlers.

According to details, the PIA flight number 326 coming from Quetta to Islamabad landed at Islamabad Airport when the fight between two passengers— who are said to be Afghans— turned ugly.

The passengers indulged in an argument over their seats during the flight and once the plane touched the ground, they again became furious.

The pilot of the plane called the Airport Security Force whose personnel took the two passengers to the control room.

They were released after tendering an apology.

Tanay Sharma | 1 year ago | Reply It is almost unimaginable and I wouldn t believe the fist fight in pia flight till I read this post. It is weird how people lack the basic etiquettes and behave miserably even on the flights. Hope such incidents don t repeat often. The airline company should take some steps to prevent it.
