| [GatewayPundit] Just hours after an American Airlines flight was diverted to Detroit with a disruptive passenger prompting an FBI response, a second U.S. commercial flight declared a potential hijacking incident upon landing in Atlanta on Sunday evening. Frontier Airlines Flight 2539 (flight number F92539), an Airbus A320 flying from Columbus, Ohio (CMH) to Atlanta (ATL), landed at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport around 5:09 p.m. Shortly after touchdown, the crew declared a potential hijacking and security concern. The aircraft was immediately directed to isolation away from normal airport traffic and followed by emergency vehicles to an inactive runway. Video and tracking data show the plane remained isolated on the remote runway for nearly two hours as law enforcement and airport personnel responded. According to crew audio from the incident, a black male passenger seated in 3A allegedly threatened to kill the passenger next to him and claimed there was a bomb onboard. LISTEN:
The crew treated the situation as a potential hijacking threat. Passengers were eventually deplaned and bused to the terminal. Authorities then searched the aircraft and all checked and carry-on bags. No injuries were reported, and the threat was later deemed non-credible. As of Sunday evening, neither Frontier Airlines, the FBI Atlanta field office, nor Atlanta airport authorities have released an official statement on the exact sequence of events or any charges filed against the passenger. |
