The seated passenger then slaps him and the man becomes angrier.
In response, the shirtless man throws punches at him. Other people try to intervene and attempt to pull him away but in vain. The video ends with flyers holding the upset, shirtless passenger.
Over the last few days, several cases of mid-air fights have come to light.
Few days ago, a few passengers onboard a Thai Smile Airways plane from Bangkok to Kolkata were reportedly involved in a scuffle earlier this week.
A video clip of the scuffle inside the aircraft was shared widely on social media on Wednesday. In the clip, a man could be seen being slapped multiple times by a few co-passengers.

The Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) on Thursday said it is inquiring about the video clip of a scuffle between passengers onboard a plane from Bangkok to Kolkata earlier this week.
The passenger, who hails from Kolkata, told PTI about the incident on condition of anonymity.
He said that he was worried about his mother who was sitting near the seat where the incident happened. Later, other passengers and air hostess pacified the individuals involved in the scuffle, he added.
According to the passenger, the reason for the scuffle was not clear.
The plane landed at Kolkata early on Tuesday morning. It could not be immediately ascertained whether the incident was reported to the authorities in Kolkata after landing.
