United Airlines ‘deeply disturbed’ by passenger given cockpit access
The US FAA is investigating an incident where a passenger was apparently granted unauthorised access to the cockpit of a United Airlines charter flight travelling from Denver to Toronto. The moment, involving a man accompanying the Colorado Rockies baseball team on April 10, was caught on video that was posted online. Since the Sept 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, passengers have been strictly prohibited from entering the cockpit during flight. United Airlines said in a statement that it’s “deeply disturbed” by the video, which has since been deleted from the individual’s social media account but remains visible elsewhere online. The airline said it has grounded the pilots involved in the flight while it conducts an investigation, calling the incident “a clear violation of our safety and operational policies”.
