An American Airlines flight from Los Angeles (LAX/KLAX) to Washington, D.C. (DCA/KDCA), made an emergency landing in Kansas City, Missouri (MCI/KMCI), on Sunday due to an "unruly passenger displaying erratic behavior," the company confirmed.
The American Airlines Flight 1775 passenger made a few attempts to enter the cockpit before attempting to open an exit door. The FBI said that the flight was diverted "due to an unruly passenger interfering with the flight crew."
The passenger was "ultimately subdued by our crew and with the help of other passengers," an American Airlines spokesperson said in an emailed statement.
The plane landed safely at Kansas City's airport, where it was met by law enforcement on arrival after the crew reported a passenger disturbance on board, according to the airline and the Federal Aviation Administration.
The FBI confirmed the passenger had been taken into custody.
Delta Air Lines is urging the Department of Justice to put unruly passengers on the federal "no-fly" list so that "individuals who have endangered the safety and security of our people do not go on to do so on another carrier," CEO Ed Bastian wrote in a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland Friday.
Delta has called on its aviation partners to "share their unruly passenger 'no fly' list to ensure individuals who have endangered the safety and security of our people do not go on to do so on another carrier".
"Any disruption or act of violence on our planes and at our airports warrants full and public prosecution of the offenders, with zero tolerance for any behavior that interferes with flight safety."
