“Law enforcement was requested to meet Spirit Airlines flight 2145 (DTW-LAX) prior to departure from Detroit (DTW) due to a potential security concern,” the statement said.

“The aircraft taxied to a remote area, and passengers were safely deplaned and taken back to the terminal. They were rescreened, and law enforcement inspected and cleared the aircraft. The safety of our passengers and crew is our top priority, and the flight reboarded and continued to Los Angeles (LAX). Further inquiries should be directed to law enforcement.”
