This is that Cincinatti flight from yesterdeay...
French authorities have removed a female passenger from a Delta airlines jet before it left Paris for the US city of Cincinnati, in the latest security alert around a trans-Atlantic flight. US media reports say American fighter jets shadowed Delta flight 043 to its destination but the woman was eventually cleared to take a later flight after it was determined she was not a threat.

A Homeland Security Department official said: "The French called us and they told us about their concern and that they had removed her from the plane." The official said security measures had been taken "in an abundance of caution", for the arrival in Cincinnati but did not confirm reports of a jet escort. Passengers would be given detailed checks on arrival, the official added. The flight was scheduled to arrive shortly after 3:00pm (local time), according to Delta spokeswoman Anna Nova in Boston. "Since this is security related, we will not be able to release any other details at this time." |
