American Airlines offers 200% pay for flights canceled due to system error<\/h2>\n

FOX Business’ Cheryl Casone reports on the latest travel news this Thursday.<\/p>\n

An American Airlines flight bound for Washington, D.C., had to divert to Raleigh, North Carolina, due to a "disruptive passenger" on board, officials said Wednesday. <\/p>\n

Agents from the FBI's Charlotte field office responded to the airport and removed the unruly traveler from the flight. <\/p>\n

"The FBI is currently conducting interviews to gather the facts and will consult with the U.S. Attorney’s Office of the Eastern District of North Carolina to determine if federal charges will be filed," an FBI spokesperson told Fox Business. <\/p>\n

The pilot said on an Air Traffic Control recording that the flight was diverted due to a level four threat, which is issued for an "attempted or actual breach of the flight deck," according to Queen City News. <\/p>\n

Envoy Air Flight 3444 originally took off from Jacksonville, Florida, at 2:32 p.m. and landed in Raleigh at 3:41 p.m., according to FlightAware. The plane stayed in Raleigh for two hours before taking off for Washington, D.C. at 5:40 p.m. <\/p>\n
