Delta flight detours due to passenger

A passenger so disrupted an international Delta Air Lines flight Sunday afternoon, the Atlanta-bound plane was diverted to a Canadian airport where authorities took the subject into custody.

Flight 47 from Moscow to Atlanta made an unscheduled stop at Gander International Airport in Newfoundland, and the unidentified passenger was removed by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, said Delta spokeswoman Susan Elliott.

The plane was carrying 206 passengers when it departed Moscow earlier Sunday.

Elliott said the decision to remove the passenger was made by the plane’s captain. She would not release details about the individual or what that person allegedly did to merit being booted.

Flight 47 was expected to arrive at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport about 9 p.m. Sunday, roughly four hours late due to the stopover in Newfoundland, Elliott said.
