A passenger on WestJet’s Calgary to Windsor, Ont. flight was met with police upon touchdown after he refused flight crew's repeated requests to stop swearing.
Director of operations at Windsor Airport Phil Roberts said the man, whose name police did not release, made passengers and crew uncomfortable, according CTV news.
CBC News reports that the incident was relatively short-lived and that the safety of the flight was not at risk.
"This was very much a precautionary thing," said Roberts.
While the man has been released without charges, Roberts told The Windsor Star that the message from this incident is clear – any threats to public safety will be taken seriously.
“Should anyone compromise the safety of a flight, then you can be prosecuted,” said Roberts.
The newspaper also reported the man once again became “belligerent” when approached by reporters outside the airport.
This incident comes just days after a Sunwing flight was forced to turn back to Toronto after two women allegedly drank alcohol and smoked in the plane’s washroom, causing a major disturbance.
