KANSAS CITY — American Airlines flight 1175 flying from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C. on Sunday Sunday afternoon (Feb 13), was diverted to Kansas City after an unruly passenger reportedly tried to open a door on the aircraft.

American Airlines said the flight landed at Kansas City International Airport and law enforcement met the plane upon arrival. The FBI said in a statement that the passenger was “interfering with the flight crew” and was taken into custody.

American Airlines said in a statement, “We’re grateful to our crew members, who are consistently dedicated to the safety and care of our customers and who handled the circumstances with the utmost skill and professionalism”.

The flight, which had originated at Los Angeles International Airport, later continued on to Reagan National Airport.
