Passenger Arrested for Attempting to Divert Flight to the U.S.
A passenger on a Volaris flight from El BajĂo to Tijuana was arrested after attempting to divert the plane to the U.S. The crew intervened and restrained the man, and the plane was diverted to the International Airport of Guadalajara. No passengers were injured, and the plane later continued to its destination. The man's motive remains unclear.
According to passengers, the man claimed that his life and the lives of his family were in danger if the flight did not land in the U.S.
Volaris has become a plaintiff to ensure that the passenger faces the full weight of the law.
