Yet more unruly behavior on a US flight has been caught on video with a Southwest Airlines plane the latest venue for the in-flight Fight Club.

What sparked the fracas between two male passengers is still unclear but it soon descended into a full-blown fist fight.

The flight had just touched down at Burbank, CA as passengers were waiting to deplane.

Footage posted by passenger Nick Krause showed one man repeatedly punching the other.

Chaze Cable, 37, of Lancaster, California was arrested and charged with assault and battery.

His victim has not been named but suffered a chipped tooth and facial cuts, police said.

The two were eventually pulled apart by a flight attendant and several other passengers.

The airline praised employees who ‘quickly reacted.’

"Our employees are our everyday heroes and are trained to de-escalate conflict," the airline said.
