Fighters scrambled due to disruptive passenger

Tuesday, 03 Mar, 2010 0

 

Two RAF fighter jets were dispatched after reports of a disruptive passenger on an American Airlines jet bound for Heathrow.

The planes were recalled to base after the incident was found not to be terrorism-related, according to the Ministry of Defence.
 
The Boeing 767 with 161 passengers on board flying from Dallas, landed safely at about 11.00 yesterday and a woman was arrested on suspicion of endangering an aircraft, Associated Press reported.
 
The woman reportedly tried to gain access to the flight deck but was calmed by flight attendants.
