New Delhi: Against the backdrop of aviation disasters such as the Germanwings crash, an Air India flight from Jaipur to Delhi on Sunday had some tense moments when an argument between the captain and co-pilot, led to the co-pilot reportedly hitting his superior. It is said that the fight was sparked off by the captain asking his deputy to note critical data like the number of passengers on board, take-off weight and other details for a card that is kept in front of them for the flight for reference.

However, the co-pilot reportedly 'took offence' and attacked the captain. Despite the incident, the flight took off and a complaint was later filed by the captain in Mumbai. A channel report quoted the group head of Air India as saying that the two pilots had a minor argument and have been de-rostered.
