A Delta Air Lines plane was diverted after a passenger disturbance, involving a lighter, forced the aircraft land in Atlanta instead of New York City.

A Delta Air Lines plane headed to New York City from Texas was forced to divert after a passenger had a lighter onboard. The Federal Aviation Administration and Delta Air Lines confirmed to Fox News Digital that Flight 420 landed safely at Hartfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport around 3:20 p.m. on Thursday, March 14, after the crew reported a passenger disturbance.

Delta said that the aircraft had two pilots, three flight attendants and 92 customers at the time of the incident. The Atlanta-based airline said that they have a "zero tolerance policy" for unruly behavior. Delta has zero tolerance for unruly behavior and will work with law enforcement authorities to that end," a spokesperson for the airline said. "We appreciate the civility and understanding of the remainder of our Dallas to New York customers and apologize for the delay in their travels."
