Flight Disturbance

No one is safe these days from a fight on a flight ... in the latest example, take what happened Monday night aboard an Air Asia jet traveling from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia to China.

At some point during the 4-hour trip, an older gent got pissed at 3 young women seated in front of him because they were making a racket.

The man told the trio to keep their voices down, but they refused, prompting him to call them "stupid" and demand they "shut up."

Alaska Airlines sent passengers into a frenzy on Sunday night, temporarily grounding all flights nationwide after a major IT outage.

The company says in a statement the outage occurred around 8 PM PST, forcing a pause on all flights for about 3 hours before operations resumed.

However, video captured by Adam Bennett, a news reporter in Austin, shows a "madhouse" at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport as a result of the delays.

Former Minnesota Vikings star Everson Griffen -- a four-time Pro Bowler -- was removed from a plane on Wednesday after he allegedly caused a mid-flight disturbance.

The 37-year-old ex-pass rusher, TMZ Sports has learned, was on a Delta Air Lines jet bound for Minneapolis from Chicago when he was accused of creating a scene.

Flight records show just minutes after the plane took off ... it returned to O'Hare -- and in a statement, a Delta spokesperson said pilots grounded the jet in order to have "an unruly passenger removed."

A furious passenger erupted in a profanity-filled tirade at the Paris Airport after her flight to New York was abruptly canceled due to a French air traffic controller strike.

Captured on video, the woman -- traveling with her two children -- screamed, "F****** b***h, I need my medication!" at an airline employee before being restrained by airport police. She claimed her diabetes medication was in her checked bag.

The passenger said the airline offered little help to stranded passengers and blamed Norse Atlantic for poor communication. "She just wanted some accommodation for her and her kids," the woman said. "She was panicked, but the language wasn’t OK."

Only in Australia ... a domestic flight grounded for two hours after a snake decided to hiss its way into the cargo hold, and no Samuel L. Jackson on board to save the day!!!

Passengers were boarding Virgin Australia flight VA337 Tuesday in Melbourne, when ... the sssurprise serpent was spotted in the cargo hold. No one knew if it was chill or deadly, so they called in the big guns: snake catcher Mark Pelley.

There’s video of Mark diving into the cargo hold to do the heroic deed -- and only after he bagged the wriggler did he realize the 2-foot green tree snake was harmless ... well, not poisonous.

The friendly skies have been downright terrifying lately -- and the latest scare saw passengers on a Japan Airlines flight writing goodbye notes as a sudden mechanical issue sent the plane into a steep, panic-inducing descent.

Catch this nerve-wracking clip -- a Japan Airlines flight from Shanghai to Tokyo had passengers grabbing deployed oxygen masks as the Boeing 737 took a terrifying dive, plummeting from around 36,000 feet to just under 10,500 in less than 10 minutes, per People.

There were 191 passengers and crew onboard -- and one rattled flyer said even the flight attendant was in tears as she screamed for everyone to put on their oxygen masks, shouting that the plane had a malfunction.
