An Oakland-bound Southwest flight returned to Honolulu after two passengers were fighting about something.
All Southwest would say in a statement is that flight 2050 on Tuesday from Honolulu to Oakland returned to Honolulu "due to a conflict between two customers."MORE:first reported the "behavior of customers," and the fact that the plane eventually arrived at the Daniel K. Inouye International Airport just before 9 p.m.
Whatever the conflict was, it appears as though it was a separate problem from the deluge of challenges Southwest has been facing since Christmas. In a video that Southwest posted late Tuesday, CEO Robert Jordan blamed the winter storm on the East Coast for snarling the airline's "highly complex" network and he acknowledged that his company's technology for recovering from disruptions weren't foolproof.
Jordan said Southwest would operate a reduced schedule for several days but hoped to be "back on track before next week."Offers from FOX Television stations and our advertisers
