A United Airways flight touring from Honolulu to Los Angeles returned safely to Hawaii Wednesday morning after a “potential security concern” was discovered written on a rest room mirror.
Flight 1169, which took off from Daniel Ok. Inouye Worldwide Airport simply after 9:40 p.m. Tuesday, was certain for Los Angeles Worldwide Airport.
After the “potential security concern” was discovered, the Boeing 777 returned to the airport, a United Airways spokesperson wrote in a press release to Fox Information Digital.
“United Flight 1169 from Honolulu to Los Angeles returned safely to Honolulu after a potential security concern was found written on a lavatory mirror,” the assertion mentioned. “Law enforcement met the aircraft, and a security sweep was conducted.”
It landed again in Hawaii simply after 1:35 a.m.
Regulation enforcement met the aircraft and carried out a safety sweep, although the airline didn’t affirm what, if something, was discovered on the aircraft.
The FBI in Honolulu didn’t instantly affirm to Fox Information Digital if there have been any arrests or make clear the character of the safety concern.
Honolulu police referred questions concerning the investigation to the FBI.
“We are rebooking customers on another flight to Los Angeles that departs later this evening,” the United Airways spokesperson mentioned.
There have been 339 passengers and 10 crew members on board.
