Translate

Law enforcement officers met an American Airlines flight upon its arrival at Miami International Airport late Friday night following reports of a female passenger undressing and behaving indecently mid-flight.

American Airlines Flight 1779 departed Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI) just after 9 p.m. EDT on Friday, Sept. 11, 2025, nearly two hours behind its scheduled departure time, according to public flight-tracking data. The flight landed in Miami at approximately 11:23 p.m. EDT.

As the Airbus A319 was en route to Florida, flight attendants alerted the cockpit crew to a disturbance involving a passenger in row 9.
