DETROIT -- Detroit Metro Airport authorities are questioning four passengers from Saudi Arabia after an incident was reported on board a Northwest Airlines flight from Amsterdam to Detroit.
Crew and flight members requested that authorities meet the plane at the gate when it landed at about 1:30 p.m. Tuesday.
“Four passengers on flight 243 did not comply with crew member instructions and out of an abundance of caution the crew requested authorities meet the flight upon arrival,” said Northwest/Delta Airlines spokeswoman Susan Elliott.
She would only say that the plane, an Airbus 330, had 245 passengers and 12 flight attendants on board. Nobody was injured.
Detroit Metro Airport spokesman Mike Conway told Local 4 they do not believe the incident is a threat.
A young Nigerian man is charged with trying to blow up a packed U.S. jetliner, Northwest flight 253 from Amsterdam to Detroit, on Christmas Day.
