Fighter jets escorted a United Airlines plane back to Washington’s Dulles Airport after a fight broke out between a two passengers on the flight bound for Ghana, officials said on Tuesday.
Police met the two passengers at the gate when flight 990 landed back at Dulles early Monday morning, but neither passenger was injured and they were not arrested, said airport spokesman Rob Yingling.
The two F-16 fighter jets were dispatched from Andrews Air Force Base after the pilot reported the disturbance, said US Navy Lieutenant Commander William Lewis.
