The Boeing 767, en-route from Atlanta to Los Angeles, was diverted after the pilot reported a ‘security threat’ due to a disruptive passenger on-board.

The plane, carrying more than 200 passengers, landed shortly after 6 p.m. The police escorted the unruly passenger out of the plane.

The flight was able to take off again after around 90 minutes.

According to Airport spokesperson Daniel Jiron, the man was not charged but was not allowed to board the flight again.

The flight, carrying 151 passengers and 6 crew members, was headed from Detroit to Denver when the authorities received a potential threat. While the nature of the threat is not clear, some sources report that one of the flight attendants on board saw a written note mentioning a ‘bomb’ in the plane.

The plane safely landed at Denver International Airport at about 4:40pm and was taken to a remote taxiway. The passengers were immediately taken to a separate place where the FBI investigated them.

By 10pm, all the passengers and crew members were cleared by the FBI and no arrests were made.

According to the FBI spokesman Dave Joly, “We currently do not believe a creditable threat existed to the flight….The majority of the Delta Flight 1500 passengers have been allowed to claim their luggage and continue with their travel plans.”
