Just hours after an American Airlines flight was diverted to Detroit with a disruptive passenger prompting an FBI response, a second U.S. commercial flight declared a potential hijacking incident upon landing in Atlanta on Sunday evening.
Frontier Airlines Flight 2539 (flight number F92539), an Airbus A320 flying from Columbus, Ohio (CMH) to Atlanta (ATL), landed at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport around 5:09 p.m.
Shortly after touchdown, the crew declared a potential hijacking and security concern.
The aircraft was immediately directed to isolation away from normal airport traffic and followed by emergency vehicles to an inactive runway.
Video and tracking data show the plane remained isolated on the remote runway for nearly two hours as law enforcement and airport personnel responded.
