A Sunwing flight en route to Cuba was forced to turn around and return to Toronto's Pearson Airport Wednesday evening after two disruptive passengers caused a major disturbance.
The pilot of the 737 aircraft, who described the two female passengers as being disruptive "in a serious manner," reported to NORAD (North American Aerospace Defence Command) while the plane was in U.S. airspace that the aircraft was "under threat."
NORAD scrambled two Canadian Forces CF-18 fighters to intercept Sunwing Flight 656 and escort it back to Pearson.
Police officers were called to the airport around 8 p.m. ET and the two passengers were arrested when the plane landed, said George Tudos with Peel Regional Police.
