Brawl Erupts on Tarmac as Ryanair Flight from Tangier Lands in Toulouse

"An investigation is underway following complaints. A fight did indeed take place on Friday (December 2) evening on the arrival of a flight from Tangier," said Toulouse Blagnac airport. The dispute broke out in Morocco between two families of passengers and the tension rose during the flight. "I’ve never seen anything like it. There were scattered suitcases and passengers started fighting. It was super dangerous. They were fighting close to the runway," a airport employee present at the scene told Capital.fr.

Immediately afterwards, the refuelers and mechanics are said to have intervened to separate the passengers. "There were at least ten of them hitting each other. They fought less than a meter from the engine. The police didn’t even intervene," the employee continued, adding that it took about twenty minutes before the travelers were separated.
