A flight traveling from Paris to the United States was diverted to Canada after a passenger's disruptive actions prompted authorities to intervene.

A passenger on a Friday flight from Paris to Detroit, Michigan, has been charged after his unruly behavior led to the plane being rerouted to Canada, according to police.

According to Royal Canadian Mounted Police spokesperson Cpl. Jolene Garland and court records, Ahmed Omar Aden, 34, displayed 'unruly behavior' and was suspected to be intoxicated.

Upon landing at Stephenville Dymond International Airport in Newfoundland, Canada, Aden was taken into custody by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, officials confirmed.

Aden is facing multiple charges under the Aeronautics Act, including interfering with crew duties and endangering safety, as stated by a spokesperson from the Stephenville Provincial Court.

Aden appeared in court on Monday and was held in custody until his next hearing, which is scheduled for Friday, according to a court spokesperson.

Trevor Murphy, Aden’s lawyer from the Newfoundland and Labrador Legal Aid Commission, declined to provide any comments on the case.

The Delta Air Lines flight, which departed from Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris on Friday morning, was airborne for about six hours before making an emergency landing in Canada. After a 90-minute stop, it resumed its journey to Detroit, as tracked by FlightAware.

In response to the incident, a Delta spokesperson stated, 'We have a zero-tolerance policy for disruptive behavior, especially when it jeopardizes the safety of our passengers and crew.'

According to statistics from the US Federal Aviation Administration, there were over 2,300 reports of disruptive passengers last year. Since late 2021, more than 250 cases have been referred to the FBI for potential criminal investigation, the agency reported.

As of May 28, the FAA has recorded at least 740 incidents of unruly passenger behavior in 2023, according to the agency's data.

Correction: An earlier version of this report misstated the name of the court where the passenger is set to appear. It is the Stephenville Provincial Court.
