OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Pilots aboard a commercial jet mistakenly
thought someone was trying to breach the cockpit Monday, leading
the flight to return to the Omaha airport less than 40 minutes
after departing for Los Angeles.
The misunderstanding on American Airlines Flight 6469 came about
because the intercom that pilots and flight attendants use to
speak to each other had been left on by accident, an American
Airlines spokesperson said. The pilots heard some static sound
over this intercom and they mistakenly thought it meant someone
was trying to break in.
The flight was operated by SkyWest, which flies regional routes
for American and other airlines. The plane was an Embraer ERJ
175, according to the flight tracking website FlightAware.
The Omaha Airport Authority said there was no security related
incident at the airport and referred questions to American.
