Summary
Video from a Sept. 16 Biman Bangladesh Airlines flight shows two passengers trading punches in the aisle on the route from Sylhet to London Heathrow.
An argument between the men reportedly escalated into a physical fight, with one passenger's shirt torn as nearby travelers screamed and rushed in to separate them.
Cabin crew later defused the situation, the airline said, after men, women, children and elderly passengers were caught up in the disruption aboard the more than 11-hour flight.
The carrier confirmed the incident through its public relations chief, while questions remained over what sparked the clash and whether any arrests or further action followed at Heathrow.
The episode adds to a run of recent in-flight disturbances, including an easyJet brawl involving about 10 passengers and a 2024 American Airlines case in which a passenger was restrained with tape.
