Cockpit-breach attempt forces Frontier flight to divert, passenger restrained by fellow travelers
TL;DR Summary
A Frontier Airlines flight from Puerto Rico to Chicago diverted to Miami after passenger Juan Gabriel Reyes, 51, attempted to open an emergency exit and breach the cockpit, then choked an off-duty flight attendant. Passengers and crew restrained Reyes with flex cuffs and seatbelt extenders; the plane later resumed to Chicago with Reyes in custody and facing federal charges of interference with flight crew and assault. The FAA notes a rise in unruly passenger incidents this year.
