Law enforcement officers removed four passengers from a flight scheduled to leave Baltimore-Washington International Airport for Chicago O’Hare International Airport this morning, according to a statement from Spirit Airlines.
Spirit Airlines flight 969 was taxiing to the runway for its 6 a.m. ET departure when a passenger alerted a flight attendant to another passenger’s “suspicious activity” on board the flight, the airline said.
The flight attendant notified the captain, who decided to return the plane to the gate.
A Maryland Transportation Authority (MTA) Police spokesperson told ABC News that law enforcement escorted three males and one female off the plane. They were then taken into custody at the airport.
Spirit Airlines flight 969 eventually departed the Maryland airport and landed in Chicago.
