4 passengers on Northwest flight cause disturbance
ROMULUS, Mich. — A Delta Airlines spokeswoman says the crew of a Northwest Airlines flight requested that authorities meet the plane when it landed in Detroit because four passengers did not follow their instructions.
Spokeswoman Susan Elliott would not give details about what the passengers were doing on Northwest Flight 243 from Amsterdam that landed around 1:30 p.m. Tuesday. She would only say that the plane had 245 passengers and 12 flight attendants on board. Nobody was injured.
A message seeking comment was left at Detroit’s Metropolitan Airport.
Tuesday’s disturbance comes less than a week after a Nigerian man pleaded not guilty to trying to blow up a packed Northwest Airlines flight from Amsterdam as it was preparing to land in Detroit on Christmas.
