Several officers were dispatched to Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport in Florida late Wednesday after Spirit Airlines called to report some passengers were getting unruly, a Broward County Sheriff's Department duty officer tells CBS News.
She said there were some rowdy and irate customers who'd been delayed for hours.
The duty officer says all Spirit Airlines planes were going through mechanical checks, and the carrier didn't have enough mechanics to do them.
At least two Spirit flights took off from the airport Wednesday night, but numerous others were delayed.
It wasn't clear how many passengers were waiting or how many were, in Spirit's opinion, getting out of hand. It also wasn't clear what they were doing to spark that concern.
Spirit Airlines passenger leaves message for wife after explosion
Last week, a Spirit plane headed from Dallas to Atlanta had to return to Dallas when smoke in the cabin led the pilot to shut down an engine.
A passenger on that plane told CBS Atlanta affiliate WGCL-TV, "This huge explosion goes bam and we saw the flames come up the side of the plane, which lit up the whole inside of the plane." Another passenger said smoke then filled the cabin.
The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating.
