Authorities found there was no credible threat onboard a Sunday flight from Miami to Seattle after passengers were asked to deplane following an incident involving flight attendants.

The Alaska Airlines Flight 305 pilot told air traffic controllers that there was a customer disturbance onboard the flight that caused him to lock down the cockpit.

“We have set the parking brake, and we have a customer disturbance on board right now, with threats coming from customers. We want to go into a lockdown protocol. We are shutting down our engine, and the parking brake is set,” the pilot told controllers, according to audio obtained by ATC.com.

He later added, “The flight attendants have received threats from customers on board the aircraft,” and told controllers to call police.

Deputies from the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office responded to the incident but found no credible threat.

Two individuals involved in the incident were ultimately rebooked on another flight, according to CBS News. Alaska Airlines did not immediately respond to The Hill’s request for comment regarding the incident.
