Passengers on the packed Delta Airlines service from LA to Minnesota saw the two female hostesses arguing about “work issues”.
Their conversation became increasingly more heated until they started brawling. A third airline employee was punched in the face as she tried to stop her colleagues fighting and eventually a passenger was forced to intervene to pull the women off one another.
The pilot then made an emergency landing at Salt Lake City.
Both women were kicked off the flight when it landed and passengers were forced to wait more than 80 minutes for replacement staff to be found.
“We expect our flight crew to be nothing but courteous and professional at all times and what you experienced was far from that,” a statement from Delta read. “I am sorry we didn’t deliver on our brand promise for you today.
“The actions of these crew members in no way reflect the values and professionalism we expect from all of our employees.
