Alaska flight halted during taxi at MIA after disturbance; authorities find no credible threat

An Alaska Airlines flight taxiing for departure at Miami International Airport returned to the gate after a reported passenger disturbance. The crew engaged lockdown procedures and shut down the engine; Miami-Dade deputies responded, passengers briefly deplaned, and two disruptive passengers were rebooked on another flight. Authorities later said there was no credible threat and the plane was cleared to resume boarding and continue to Seattle, with FAA launching its investigation. The incident comes as FAA data show ongoing unruly-passenger reports in 2026 (1,014 so far this year).
