Why did Air Asia passengers get into fight?
The male passenger reportedly asked the three women to lower their voices. However, it wasn't until the man called the women stupid that things got out of hand.
The incident, which was captured on camera, showed one of the women climbing on top of her seat and punching the man.
This prompted another woman to join her counterpart and begin hitting him as well.
The brawling intensified to the extent that other passengers got involved in the altercation too.
"We were seated behind the women and listened to them quarrel with the man. They were speaking too loudly. The lights were switched off. The man seated in front of them asked them to tone their voices down as he wanted to rest," one eyewitness said.
"The friends then attacked the man. Two ladies began fighting a male passenger," she added.
In response to the incident, the cabin crew asked the passengers to return to their seats. The flight attendants struggled to get things in order, but eventually succeeded.
No serious injuries were reported, and no emergency landing was required following the incident.
Passenger throws used sanitary pads at KQ staff
This comes months after a heated altercation was witnessed between a Kenya Airways staff member and a Nigerian passenger.
The drama occurred after a passenger from Lagos caused drama at JKIA after she was stopped from boarding a plane because she lacked a visa for her connecting flight to Paris.
Kenya Airways reportedly offered an alternative route through London, but the Nigerian passenger refused.

Things got out of hand when the passenger demanded accommodation, but the airline clarified that they couldn't provide it due to visa-related issues.
The airline stated that every passenger is required to ensure that they have proper documentation for international travel.
In a show of her disappointment, the visibly agitated woman removed three used sanitary towels and threw them at KQ employees, causing outrage.
The incident went viral as Kenyans and Nigerians engaged in a fierce online war.
