Two Iraqi pilots brawl in cockpit mid-flight
"We have launched an investigation into the two pilots who engaged in a brawl in the plane cockpit mid-flight," the Iraqi Transport Ministry announced on Wednesday.
The two pilots were working for Iraqi Airways.
The airline said they will "strongly punish" the pilots, including revoking their licences so "no one would dare repeat such acts," said the airline in a statement seen by al-Sumaria News.
"Our airline in many aspects has a good reputation and thousands of passengers witness it,” the airline added.
The cause of the fight or what route the pilots were flying at the time have not been disclosed.
Iraqi Airways is the national carrier of Iraq. It is considered oldest airline in the Middle East.
