Man Arrested After Attempted Hijacking of Flight

A 31-year-old man attempted to hijack a Volaris Airlines flight from Mexico to Tijuana, claiming his life was in danger due to threats received after takeoff. The incident occurred on an Airbus A320 about 45 minutes into the flight, prompting an emergency landing at Guadalajara International Airport. Passengers intervened as the man assaulted a flight attendant and tried to enter the cockpit, with videos capturing the chaos onboard. Following the successful subduing of the suspect, Volaris confirmed that all passengers and crew remained safe, and the flight continued to Tijuana shortly after the incident. The man allegedly stated that he feared for his life if he landed in Tijuana, a city plagued by violence from drug cartels. The airline expressed gratitude to the crew for their swift actions and assured that they would pursue legal action against the perpetrator.
