A woman was taken into custody by law enforcement in Miami after she allegedly undressed on her flight and began acting indecently.
The flight, American Airlines 1779, departed Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport just after 9 p.m. on Friday and landed in Miami around 11:23 p.m.
At some point during the flight, a flight attendant notified the cockpit that a passenger in seat 9D had stripped naked and was engaging in indecent acts in front of passengers, Fox News reports.
Despite the disturbance, the flight continued to Miami without diverting.
The Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System logged a message concerning the incident on September 12, 2026.
“FA1 REPORTS THAT PAX IN SEAT 9DEF HAS TAKEN OFF ALL HER CLOTHES AND WAS SEEN BY OTHER PAX ******************* IN AN INDECENT MANNER. FOM SAYS THIS MUST BE REPORTED TO IOC/OSM AND HAVE LAW ENFORCEMENT.”
When the plane landed, police were waiting at the gate and the woman was taken into custody. No further details have been released and it is unclear if the woman will face charges.
When a passenger becomes unruly on a flight, flight attendants have the authority to physically restrain them if it appears they pose a threat to other travelers, though there is no indication that the woman involved in this incident was detained.
There are no details at the time of this report on what steps flight attendants took to address the woman’s alleged actions.
In another recent incident, a man on an American Airlines flight from Reno, Nevada, to New Jersey had to be duct-taped to his seat after he allegedly attacked another passenger.
The man in that incident allegedly began directing vulgar language and racial slurs toward the flight attendants,
Other passengers said the man was making disturbing statements during the flight, claiming that the “plane is going to crash” and that “we’re all going to die,” according to ABC 7.
At some point, the man allegedly began choking the person seated next to him, which prompted flight attendants and other passengers to restrain him and duct tape him to his seat to prevent further aggression.
