Diciadain, Giblean 16, 2025

Ghabh turas-adhair àbhaisteach eadar an Ear Mheadhanach agus na Stàitean Aonaichte tionndadh ris nach robh dùil air 14 Giblean, 2025, nuair a nochd tachartas luchd-siubhail draghail air bòrd, a’ brosnachadh ceumannan sàbhailteachd bho sgioba caban fhad ‘s a bha am plèana air an t-slighe thairis air a’ Chuan Siar.

The aircraft, a wide-body jet operating a scheduled service from Israel to New Jersey, departed as planned and touched down at its final destination in the early afternoon. Despite the disturbance, the flight was not diverted, and arrival times remained unaffected.

According to reports, tension escalated mid-journey when a traveler became increasingly aggressive, resulting in a response from the inflight crew and onboard security personnel. The individual was restrained using standard onboard equipment to prevent interference with flight operations and to protect those onboard.

Upon arrival in the United States, law enforcement officers boarded the aircraft to escort the passenger from the cabin. The situation was contained without injury, and all other travelers exited the aircraft under normal procedures.

Federal authorities are now conducting a full review of the inflight event to determine whether any legal or regulatory breaches occurred and whether additional action is warranted.

This latest disruption follows a pattern of similar high-profile incidents that have affected long-distance routes in recent years, drawing renewed attention to airline crew preparedness and the critical role of in-air safety enforcement.

The operating airline emphasized that the incident did not impact flight operations and that safety procedures were executed precisely as required. The carrier also reaffirmed its ongoing focus on crew readiness and passenger well-being.
