JetBlue Airways Flight Diverted Due To “Unruly Passenger”

On Friday a JetBlue Airways flight was diverted to Washington-Dulles International Airport because of an “unruly passenger,” according to the airline. The flight was bound from Boston to the Dominican Republic when the passenger most likely had an anxiety attack in the middle of the flight. A TSA official familiar with the incident came to this conclusion. JetBlue spokesman Steve Stampley said law enforcement officers took the passenger into custody after the flight landed at 1:13 p.m. on Friday. After 45 minutes at Dulles, the JetBlue Flight 691 continued with it’s trip to Santo Domingo at 2 p.m. according to Stampley. Although the incident forced the the flight to stop, Stampley also said none of the crew members or 149 passengers were injured.
