A female passenger was detained by law enforcement after allegedly undressing and engaging in indecent behavior aboard an American Airlines flight traveling from Baltimore to Miami, according to a report from Fox News.
The incident occurred aboard American Airlines Flight 1779, an Airbus A319 traveling from Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport to Miami International Airport.
According to flight crew reports cited by Fox News, attendants alerted the cockpit after a passenger in row 9 reportedly undressed and behaved inappropriately in view of other travelers.
The crew subsequently notified American Airlines’ Integrated Operations Center, which requested that law enforcement meet the aircraft when it arrived in Miami.

The flight continued to its destination without being diverted. It arrived at Miami International Airport and proceeded to Gate D2, where law enforcement officers were reportedly waiting.
The passenger was taken into custody after the aircraft arrived, according to the report.
It remains unclear what specific steps the cabin crew took to manage the situation while the aircraft was in the air. Fox News reported that American Airlines, the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office and Miami International Airport were contacted for comment.
The incident adds to ongoing concerns surrounding disruptive and unruly passenger behavior on commercial flights, where crews must balance passenger safety with maintaining normal flight operations.
