A passenger without a ticket was kicked off a Delta flight this week after having sneaked onto a flight from Seattle to Hawaii, the airline said.
The unidentified person was apprehended after having been booted from the flight before takeoff, Delta said in a statement Thursday.
The incident occurred Tuesday on Flight 487, an Airbus A321neo headed to Honolulu from Seattle.
“As there are no matters more important than safety and security, Delta people followed procedures to have an unticketed passenger removed from the flight and then apprehended," Delta said. "We apologize to our customers for the delay in their travels and thank them for their patience and cooperation.”
The unticketed passenger was discovered as the plane taxied out, and the flight returned to the gate. It was delayed more than two hours.
