The fight erupted after a father who was seated behind a row of three young women got furious when they carried on "talking loudly".
He asked them to be quiet, but the female passengers reportedly refused.
Tensions erupted when the dad shouted and said: "'Shut up... are you stupid? I want to sleep."
Footage shows a woman in a green outfit and baseball cap leaning across the seat while repeatedly throwing punches at the man - who cowered beneath the food tray.
Desperate Air Asia cabin crew in the company's distinctive red dresses can be seen wrestling with those involved in the fight.
A female attendant screamed at them to sit back in their places as the scrap was finally brought under control.
A woman onboard the flight who recorded the video said the fist-fight began around mid-way through the journey.
She added: "We were sitting behind the row of women and listened to the quarrel.
"They were chatting too loudly while the lights were turned off, and the man in front asked them to be silent because he wanted to sleep.
"The mother of one of the women then joined in. The friends then went up to attack the man. There were two women fighting the male passenger."
Officials at the Airport Public Security Bureau of the Sichuan Provincial Public Security Department have now launched an investigation, the Daily Mail reports.
It comes after a bulky passenger wearing a "too busy doing nothing" top was dragged off the jet after demanding an aisle seat for his big frame.
The entitled passenger reportedly complained there was not enough room in his window seat on the Thai Lion Air flight taking off from Bangkok.
Meanwhile, a woman allegedly threatened to crash a plane in India during a row with cabin staff just days after the deadly Air India disaster.
Footage showed the passenger yelling at passengers and crew on board the flight.
Plus, a troublesome passenger was left bruised and shamed after starting a fight on a Frontier Airlines Flight.
While two angry passengers clashed over a reclined seat while on a busy flight to Bali.

Impeached president stages prison cell protest in his underwear
South Korea's former president Yoon Suk Yeol lay on his prison cell floor in his underwear to resist attempts to interrogate him, prosecutors said Friday. A fresh arrest warrant was obtained on Thursday to forcibly bring the impeached former leader in for questioning over allegations of election tampering. However, they were 'unable to do so due to his strong refusal', prosecutor Oh Jeong-hee told reporters, as he lay on the floor of his cell on Friday and refused to leave. Mr Yoon was removed from office in April by the constitutional court over his botched attempt last year to declare martial law. Political turmoil On December 3, he sent troops into parliament to prevent lawmakers from voting down the declaration, plunging the country into political turmoil. He now faces a litany of charges, ranging from insurrection to election tampering, and is being investigated by a special prosecution team formed under the new president, Lee Jae Myung. But when prosecutors tried to get him to comply with an arrest warrant and attend questioning voluntarily on Friday, 'the suspect refused arrest while lying on the floor without wearing his prison-issued clothing,' Ms Jeong-hee said. 'Due to concerns over safety incidents, physical force was withheld, and the execution of the warrant was temporarily suspended.' 'Serious nature of the situation' Yoon was wearing 'a sleeveless top and prison-issued briefs,' prosecutors said, calling it the 'most appropriate way' to describe his attire given the 'serious nature of the situation'. There was no information on the colour of his underclothing, they added. Prosecutors informed Yoon that they would have to carry out physical force if necessary in the next attempt. Yoon's legal team said the prosecutors had shown a 'disturbing disregard' for 'basic human decency'. Yu Jeong-hwa, one of Yoon's lawyers, told Reuters that bringing up what he was wearing in a small space where the temperature was close to 40 degrees Celsius (104°F) was a public insult to his dignity and showed how the state was violating inmates' human rights. 'The special counsel turned what should have been a press briefing into a stage for personal humiliation,' Mr Jeong-hwa told AFP news agency. 'Significant challenges to maintaining his health' Yoon's lawyers said the former president suffers from 'several underlying conditions that pose significant challenges to maintaining his health', making it difficult for him to fully cooperate with the investigation. The former president was put back in a solitary cell at the Seoul Detention Centre in July, as prosecutors investigating his short-lived declaration of martial law sought additional charges against him. Yoon is already on trial for insurrection, a charge which in South Korea is punishable by death or life imprisonment. He also faces a string of other investigations led by special prosecutors, including one into scandals surrounding his wife, former First Lady Kim Keon Hee, where the couple allegedly exerted inappropriate influence over elections. Yoon has denied any wrongdoing, and his lawyers have accused prosecutors of conducting a politically motivated witch hunt.

Influencer Irene Gu found with throat slit after being snatched outside cinema – having posted chilling warning to fans
AN INFLUENCER has been found with her throat slit after being snatched outside a cinema - having posted a chilling warning to fans. Irene Gu was leaving a cinema car park when the suspect suddenly blocked her car. 5 5 An argument ensued and the suspect, surnamed Liu, who was Irene's boyfriend, dragged her into a nearby stairwell and allegedly slit her throat. Afterwards, he reportedly fled to his grandfather's house on the other side of the island. He was arrested by a police task force early yesterday morning. During questioning, Liu confessed to killing the influencer during a row to recover the £10,530 he claimed he lent her during their relationship. As well posting digital content for her 30,000 followers on Instagram and Threads, Irene worked as a public relations officer at a nightclub in the Taiwanese capital Taipei. The suspect also worked at the nightclub as a security guard. The 23-year-old met him when she first went clubbing on the recommendation of her mother who wanted her to see the world. She left her banking career to work in PR just so she could have the same lifestyle and work schedule as him. However, their relationship soon soured and Gu filed a complaint against him in May for allegedly assaulting her. She also applied for a protective order. Tragic female bodybuilding star Christina Bitner dies just days after her 41st birthday as fans and friends pay tribute Despite repeated summons, Liu failed to appear in court over the matter. In the days leading up to her death, she shared a photo of her domestic violence complaint against the suspect, warning him: 'If you hit me, I'll go to the police, right?' In a separate post, she said: 'Someone asked me why don't I just block him? 'Because he'll find me, he even asked my colleagues if I was at work, disturbing my co-workers. 'Most importantly, I don't owe him money!' In early July, Gu shared a photo of her wearing an eye-catching black dress with the comment: 'Occasionally, you should thank yourself for walking such a long way alone.' The investigation into her alleged murder is ongoing. 5 5

South Korea's Yoon takes off prison uniform and lies on floor to resist questioning
South Korea 's jailed ex-president Yoon Suk Yeol again refused to attend questioning by investigators Friday, using a new method to resist: He took off his prison uniform and lay down on the floor at his detention room. Mr Yoon, removed from office in April over his ill-fated imposition of martial law, was sent back to prison last month as he stands a high-stakes trial over rebellion and other charges. Mr Yoon, a conservative, faces investigations into other criminal allegations that are not related to his Dec. 3 martial law decree but target him, his wife and others. On Friday, Min Joong-ki, a special counsel named by his liberal rival and new president Lee Jae Myung, sent investigators to retrieve Mr Yoon from a detention centre near Seoul after the former president twice defied requests to attend questioning. Mr Min's team is tasked with delving into allegations surrounding Yoon's wife Kim Keon Hee, including that she and her husband exerted inappropriate influence on the then-ruling party's election nomination process in 2022. Mr Min's team had a court-issued detention warrant that authorised them to bring Yoon out of his detention facility by force, but said they were hoping for his voluntary cooperation. 'Without wearing his prison uniform, the suspect lay down on the floor and strongly resisted his detention,' assistant special counsel Oh Jeong-hee told a televised briefing. Oh said her team members refrained from using physical means out of safety concerns, but notified Mr Yoon that they would execute the warrant next time. She urged Mr Yoon to cooperate as the Korean people are closely watching whether the enforcement of law is applied to everyone equally. Mr Yoon's lawyers earlier said he was unable to attend his trial and undergo questioning by investigators because of heath problems. They said in a statement Thursday that Mr Yoon has cardiovascular, autonomic nervous system and eye issues. They cited an unidentified hospital as saying that Yoon faces the risk of blindness because he failed to receive medical treatment for the past three months. Mr Yoon's imposition of martial law, which brought armed troops into Seoul streets, lasted only a few hours before lawmakers voted down his decree unanimously. Mr Yoon has argued his decree was a desperate attempt to draw public support of his fight against the 'wickedness' of Lee's Democratic Party, then the main opposition party which had obstructed his agenda, impeached top officials and slashed the government's proposed budget.
