DALLAS — A Delta Airlines plane out of Dallas was diverted to Atlanta Thursday afternoon as a result of two "unruly" passengers onboard.
The flight originated out of Dallas Fort Worth International Airport around 12:30 p.m. and was scheduled to land at JFK International Airport.
In a statement from Delta, the airline says the Delta Flight 420 flight crew decided to divert to Atlanta to have two 'unruly' passengers removed from the aircraft.
