Saudi flight delayed 2 hours by fighting women

Saudi Arabia’s national airlines delayed a domestic flight for nearly two hours after five women fought aboard the aircraft.

The Saudia plane was scheduled to depart from the Western Red Sea port of Jeddah to the capital Riyadh on Monday when the argument and scuffle erupted.

“We decided to delay the flight for around two hours. We also offloaded the five,” Saudia’s assistant manager Abdul Rahman Al Fahd said, quoted by the Arabic language daily 'Sada'.
