On Tuesday, a Delta Airlines flight bound to West Palm Beach in Florida made an unanticipated stop at Jacksonville to remove two passengers' engaged in a reclining seat squabble.

According to passenger Aaron Klipin, one passenger who was trying to sleep with her head laid on the tray table had begun screaming and cursing after his seatmate started to recline her seat while she knitted.

During the commotion, the angry passenger "demanded the flight to land."

When the Delta flight 2370 did land, a 32-year-old woman identified as Amy Fine, a resident of Boca Raton in Florida, was escorted from the plane, interviewed and was later released.

During the interview, the Florida woman explained that she was hit in the head while the other passenger tried to recline her seat saying that they did exchange 'words', but asserted that she was not distracting others on board the aircraft.

Delta Air Lines later confirmed the flight diversion in a statement.

"Delta flight 2370 from New York-LaGuardia to West Palm Beach was re-routed to Jacksonville International Airport due to a passenger disruption. Out of an abundance of caution, the Captain elected to divert to the closest airport," it said.

After the first few instances of diverted flights came to light, debates on the right to recline seats in a flight have also been discussed.

On August 27, a flight bound to Paris from Miami made an early stop at Boston after a passenger, 60-year-old Edmund Alexandre, caused a commotion because the person seating in front of him tried reclining his seat.

Alexandre was removed from the flight and was charged in U.S. federal court with interference with an airline flight crew. He may now face a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.

Three days prior, a United Airlines flight was also diverted as two passengers fought over the right to recline. One of the passengers made use of a gadget called a Knee Defender, which prevents the seat in front of the user to recline.
