An Aeromexico flight from France to Mexico was diverted to Montreal, Canada, Sunday because a “person of interest” was on board, a Transportation Security Administration spokesman said.
Law enforcement officers removed the passenger from the flight after it landed at the Montreal airport, and arrested the individual on an outstanding warrant, TSA spokesman Sterling Payne said.
All other passengers were rescreened before the flight continued to its destination of Mexico City, Mexico, he said. The Boeing 767 originated in Paris, France.
Payne said TSA would continue to monitor the flight.
