Massachusetts State Police and the FBI have reportedly launched an investigation into a "potential criminal act" that occurred on American Flight 1441, which was en route from Charlotte, North Carolina to Boston, Massachusetts.
Upon receiving notification from American Airlines, state police were alerted to the incident and promptly responded to Boston Logan International Airport.
Upon landing, the aircraft was met by Massachusetts State Police patrols and detectives, who immediately initiated an investigation into the matter. While the specific details of the alleged act have not been disclosed by authorities, it has been confirmed that the incident took place mid-flight.
Due to the fact that the incident occurred during the flight, it falls under federal jurisdiction. As a result, federal authorities have asserted their jurisdiction over the matter, according to Massachusetts State Police. The FBI has confirmed that its agents have responded to the incident, but declined to provide further comment at this time.
In the meantime, a spokesperson for the airline has emphasized their commitment to the safety and security of their passengers, stating, "We take this matter very seriously and are fully cooperating with law enforcement in their investigation, as safety and security are our highest priority."
