A Frontier Airlines flight heading to Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport was diverted Sunday due to a “passenger disturbance.”
According to the Federal Aviation Administration, Frontier Airlines flight 3345 heading from San Juan, Puerto Rico to O’Hare was diverted to Miami International Airport about 11:55 p.m. after the crew reported a passenger disturbance. The flight then landed safely in Miami, the FAA said.
No further details were provided, and Frontier Airlines did not immediately respond to NBC Chicago’s request for comment.
The incident comes a day after a different one hours earlier, when a United flight traveling from O’Hare to Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport was diverted to Dane County Regional Airport in Madison, Wisconsin due to an unruly passenger. In that incident, Air Traffic Control could be heard saying the passenger attempted to breach the cockpit multiple times.
According to the Dane County Sheriff, the passenger, a 75-year-old man on that flight became confused on board and was suffering a mental health crisis. No one was injured.
Airlines have reported more than 640 “unruly passenger” incidents so far in 2026, the FAA said.
“The FAA pursues legal enforcement action against any passenger who assaults, threatens, intimidates, or interferes with airline crewmembers, and can propose civil penalties up to $43,658 per violation,” the FAA said. “One incident can result in multiple violations. Passengers who engage in unruly behavior can also face criminal charges.”
