A “disruptive” passenger caused a United flight crew to turn a Tel Aviv-bound plane around Sunday, delaying the rest of the passengers for hours, United said.
Flight 90, which departed early that morning from Newark, turned back after about three hours into the 10-hour flight, website Flight Radar 24 shows.
The U-turn happened after an unidentified man got into a confrontation with the flight crew and a shouting match ensued, a passenger told Israeli media outlet YNet.
The eyewitness said the man was waiting for the bathroom and decided to sit down in one of the seats designated for flight attendants.
“Crew members told him that if he did not return to his seat, the plane would be turned back to New York,” the witness said, adding that the man appeared not to believe them, ridiculing the crew members.
She told YNet that she was surprised when the flight did turn around because there was no announcement, adding “We just noticed it on the map showing our flight path and when we landed, we saw the police waiting for the plane.”
