“Massachusetts State Police said the passenger “was intoxicated” and there was no connection to terrorism”.
Kamila Dolniak, 32, is a Polish citizen.
The flight, which left London’s Heathrow airport at 6.57 a.m. (local time) landed about half an hour ahead of schedule at Boston’s Logan global Airport at 1.30 p.m. (local time). What the inebriated passenger did do was try to exit the plane midflight by attempting to open the exit door.
She could be arraigned in East Boston District Court as early as Wednesday. That was retracted shortly after the reports came out stating that it was the exit door she tried to open. Oh, and she was said to be very intoxicated.
The approximately 30-year-old woman was described as abusive and “unruly” by British Airways, WCVB reported.
The woman has not been identified. They said other charges could be sought as the investigation continues. “We did wonder if it was related to [the Paris attacks]”.
