# Alaska Airlines flight returns to Miami gate after passenger threats 2026-08-10T06:45:45+00:00 | World & Diplomacy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Alaska Airlines Flight 305 from Miami to Seattle returned to the gate on Sunday evening after crew reported threats from passengers, triggering a cockpit lockdown protocol. The pilot told air traffic control that flight attendants had received threats, including one passenger allegedly threatening to 'take the aircraft over.' Miami-Dade Sheriff’s deputies responded, deboarded all passengers, and investigated. Law enforcement concluded there was no credible threat. The two disruptive passengers were rebooked on another flight and temporarily banned from Alaska Airlines. The aircraft was cleared, passengers reboarded, and the flight to Seattle departed after a roughly two-hour delay, the airline said. Times Now reports a separate incident on Monday involving a United Airlines flight diverted to Milwaukee over a passenger threat. ## Coverage - hindustantimes.com - timesnownews.com Tags: Alaska Airlines, flight disruption, Miami, passenger threats, US aviation security Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/alaska-airlines-flight-returns-to-miami-gate-after-passenger-threats/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
