As a result of an argument, the two pilots, who have since been suspended, began fighting "after one allegedly hit the other.
The crew members intervened and one of them had to stay in the cockpit with the pilots for the rest of the flight,” according to
La Tribune.
While in July 2022 a "security notice" that caused a search of a Condor aircraft caused a stir, the "turbulence" within the Air France board staff is particularly strange. According to the company, however, the machine was safe despite the fight Arrived at destination airport, adds the
