Credible threat found after flight locks down cockpit

Authorities found no credible threat after a Sunday flight from Miami to Seattle was locked down in response to a disturbance that led the pilot to secure the cockpit. Passengers were asked to deplane following the incident involving Alaska Airlines flight attendants. The pilot told air traffic controllers there was a “customer disturbance” and reported threats made by customers onboard, prompting him to initiate a lockdown protocol, including shutting down the engine and setting the parking brake. He later added that flight attendants had received threats and asked controllers to contact police. Deputies from the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office responded but found no credible threat. Two people involved were ultimately rebooked on another flight, according to CBS News. Alaska Airlines did not immediately comment to The Hill.
