Fight breaks out on Spirit Airlines because it's Spirit Airlines

The experience of flying on budget airlines continued to take public relations hits after a brawl broke out onboard a Spirit Airlines flight Wednesday.

The incident happened shortly after Flight 141, from Baltimore, landed in Los Angeles. While the plane taxied to the gate, two women (reportedly intoxicated) began blaring music from a boombox. 

Some fellow passengers took issue with the decision to share music with the rest of the cabin and unpleasant words were exchanged. 

Paul Berry, a Spirit Airlines spokesman, said in a statement:

Two female customers were playing loud music on portable speaker after the plane landed at LAX. Several other customers asked them if they could turn down their music. The first two ladies refused to do so. Then to provoke the other customers they were holding their speaker in the air taunting the customers who had asked to have the music turned down. This prompted the second group of customers to approach the first group and a fight broke out. Airport police met the flight to take off all 5 ladies that were involved in the altercation. Airport police released them after an hour.

Video of the altercation shows chaos as the women involved pull hair and even throw a few punches. 

FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller told NBC News, "My understanding is that it was primarily a verbal altercation in which multiple parties engaged." 

Berry told Mashable in an email, "The fight was able to escalate because our flight attendants were strapped into their jump seats as federally mandated. Once it was clear the fight was taking place they immediately got out of their jump seats to begin stopping the fight."

According to the FBI, no one was arrested or charged in the incident.
