Flight Diverted To Boston Due To 'Unruly' Passenger: Report

BOSTON, MA — A Delta Air Lines flight between Detroit and Amsterdam was diverted to Boston Friday night due to an unruly passenger on board, according to the Associated Press.

Delta Flight 134 was carrying 282 passengers and crew when it made a landing at Boston Logan International Airport just before 9 p.m., the outlet reported. The passenger was removed from the flight before it resumed, with the plane arriving in Amsterdam more than three hours late.

“We have zero tolerance for unruly behavior on our aircraft and express apologies to our valued customers and crew for experiencing this unfortunate delay in their travels,” the airline said in a statement shared with The Associated Press.

According to the Federal Aviation Administration, interfering with the duties of a crewmember violates federal law.

Unruly passengers can be fined by the FAA or prosecuted on criminal charges, according to the FAA. As part of the FAA's Reauthorization Bill, the agency can propose up to $37,000 per violation for unruly passenger cases, and multiple violations can occur at once.
