KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A passenger aboard an Alaska Airlines flight from San Francisco to Chicago was charged in federal court after she allegedly became disruptive and the flight was diverted to Kansas City International Airport for safety, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Missouri.
The U.S. Attorney charged 32-year-old Chloe M. DaSilva, whose residence was not listed, with one count of interfering with a flight crew on the early morning flight Friday. DaSilva remains in federal custody.
According to court documents, DaSilva allegedly became disruptive before Alaska Airlines Flight 456 left the ground. A flight attendant told investigators that during the initial announcements and safety briefing, DaSilva allegedly stood up and asked, “When are we leaving?”
