3 weeks ago
Authorities say a flight returned to a Houston airport just after takeoff early Wednesday because of an unruly passenger. Delta Air Lines says Flight 2557 to Atlanta returned to Houston's Hobby Airport after a customer exhibited “unruly and unlawful behavior toward other customers." There were reports of someone trying to break into the cockpit, but Delta says the person who approached crew and customers didn’t try to access the flight deck. It didn't go into specifics about the passenger's behavior. Houston police say officers detained a male passenger. The flight departed again and arrived in Atlanta about 90 minutes behind schedule. The Federal Aviation Administration says it will investigate.
