A fight between two Syrian airhostesses over the political crises in their country became so passionate that it caused the delay of their Saudi Arabian Airlines flight, the Saudi newspaper al-Watan has reported. The situation has become so serious that the Saudi Arabian Airlines officials called all Syrian airhostesses to a meeting in which they were banned from any political activity or discussion whilst on duty, or risk dismissal. What began as a disagreement between the two flight attendants, one enamoured with the Syrian regime and the other opposed to it, turned into a fist-fight. The hostesses’ flight was delayed as the women slugged it out in Dubai Airport in a brawl that had to be broken up by security officers, said airport sources quoted in the Arab media. This is thought to be one of more than a dozen brawls and heated debates between Syrian flight attendants that have increased the cabin pressure in the months since the conflict in Syria began.
