In the process, the captain was found to have prevented the captain from entering the control room.
According to newswire and other foreign media, a male captain and a female bookkeeper of Sri Lanka Airlines Flight UL607, which departed Sydney, Australia, for Colombo, Sri Lanka, on the 21st of last month, quarreled.
After takeoff, the bookkeeper told the captain that he would go to the bathroom, but an argument broke out.
Afterwards, the captain locked the door to prevent the bookkeeper from entering the control room after going to the bathroom.
Eventually, the captain was able to enter the cockpit again only after the crew persuaded the captain.
Upon hearing the news, Sri Lanka Airlines banned the captain from flying until the results of the investigation were released.
"We are fully cooperating with the investigation by the authorities," a Sri Lankan Airlines official said"The safety and compliance of passengers are our airline's top priority" he stressed.
