INDIANAPOLIS — “Unruly passengers” forced a flight from Indianapolis to New York to be delayed on Friday.
According to a statement from Delta Airlines, a flight from Indianapolis International Airport to LaGuardia Airport was thrown off schedule by about an hour and a half because of the delay. The conduct of some passengers made crews in Indianapolis return the plane to the gate and deboard.
“Endeavor Air flight 4994 operating as Delta Connection from Indianapolis to New York – LaGuardia returned to the gate due to unruly passengers on board,” a statement from Delta read. “The passengers were deplaned and the aircraft carried on safely to their final destination. We apologize to our customers for the disruption in their travel plans.”
Delta Airlines’ statement indicated that further inquiries on the incident should be directed to local law enforcement. FOX59 and CBS4 reached out to Indianapolis International Airport police. The department indicated it may be able to provide more information on the incident at a later date.
