A fight broke out between two pilots shortly after take-off on an Air France flight, according to an airline official. Both pilots have reportedly been suspended following the mid-air incident, which has prompted calls from investigators for more robust safety protocols on flights.
The Independent cited a report in Switzerland's Tribune de Geneve that the pilot and co-pilot grabbed each other by their collars after one apparently struck the other. The altercation on the flight from Geneva to Paris was broken up by cabin crew, according to the report.
One member of the crew reportedly spent the whole flight in the cockpit with the two pilots following the violence. The incident was described by an Air France spokesperson as "totally inappropriate behaviour".
