Under the cries of some passengers, others tried to control the two men and the fight escalated. The scene was even filmed and broadcast on social media. But the plane was already far from Amsterdam, the captain decided to continue the flight.
The two recalcitrant, who were quite alcoholic, were arrested on their arrival on the Spanish island, KLM confirmed on Sunday. Given the difficulty of maintaining a physical distance, masks are mandatory at all European airports as well as on airplanes.
