SkyWest Flight Diverted Due to Violent Passenger Incident

A SkyWest flight was diverted to Iowa after a passenger tried to open an emergency exit and got into a fight with a flight attendant. Mario Nikprelaj, 23 from Nebraska, was taken into custody at Eastern Iowa Airport in Cedar Rapids on Thursday. The aircraft, traveling from Omaha to Detroit, was met by law enforcement officials due to the unruly customer, who was detained and later charged with assault, disorderly conduct, and first-degree harassment. SkyWest Airlines has zero tolerance for such behavior, prioritizing safety for customers and crew.
