Volaris Hijack Foiled Amid Kidnapping Threats

News summary

A domestic flight in Mexico operated by Volaris was disrupted when a passenger, identified as Mario and traveling with his family, attempted to hijack the plane to the U.S., citing threats to his life and that of his family. The passenger allegedly assaulted a flight attendant and tried to open the plane's door mid-flight. The flight crew and fellow passengers managed to subdue him, leading to an emergency landing in Guadalajara, where he was handed over to authorities. The incident reportedly stemmed from threats related to a kidnapped family member, as the man feared for his safety if the plane continued to Tijuana. All passengers and crew were unharmed, and the flight eventually continued to its original destination. This incident highlights ongoing security challenges despite strengthened airline safety protocols over the years.
