Two Air France Pilots Suspended For Fighting Inside Cockpit

Two Air-France pilots have been suspended after a physical altercation in the cockpit.

The pilot and co-pilot exchanged blows as they flew an Airbus A320 from Geneva to Paris in June, Swiss news outlet La Tribune said.

Members of the cabin crew intervened after hearing the noise. One crew member stayed in the cockpit until the flight landed safely.

The incident however did not affect the flight.

The incident comes after a report published by France’s air investigation body said that the airline had a culture which lacked rigour when it came to safety procedures.
