HONOLULU (AP) — A Hawaiian Airlines flight from Las Vegas had to divert to Los Angeles due to an unruly passenger.
KHON-TV reports that the airline confirmed that flight HA7 from Las Vegas was about an hour into the flight on Wednesday when the plane turned and stopped in Los Angeles. Officials say there was a dispute between a 66-year-old male passenger and the flight crew over the cost of a blanket.
Los Angeles Airport Police and the FBI met the aircraft at a gate on Los Angeles. The passenger was not arrested.
Officials say the passenger did not make a credible or direct threat and no crime was committed.
The flight departed Los Angeles a few hours later.
