An American Airlines Montego Bay-bound flight returned to Charlotte on Friday because two passengers refused to follow orders from flight attendants, according to the airline.
Flight AA 2732 left Charlotte Douglas International Airport around 2 p.m. and was originally scheduled to land in Jamaica around 4 p.m., according to FlightAware, which provides real-time online flight information.
The flight was diverted back to CLT at 2:51 p.m., about an hour after takeoff.
After the passengers were removed from the plane, the flight took off again around 5:10 p.m. and was scheduled to arrive in Montego Bay around 6:46 p.m. The incident caused passengers to arrive four hours late to Jamaica.
Additional details about the disruptive behavior were not immediately available.
This has been a challenging week for passengers flying in and out of Charlotte. Because of the federal government shutdown, about 1,000 flights have been delayed this week behind a nationwide shortage of air traffic controllers disrupting operations across the nation.
This is a developing story
