The flight returned to Miami about two hours after its departure

An American Airlines flight heading to London on Wednesday turned around about an hour after leaving Miami when a “disruptive customer” refused to wear a mask, the airline said.

No one was hurt, and the Boeing 777 landed safely at Miami International Airport at 9:24 p.m., American Airlines spokesman Curtis Blessing said in an email.

Officers with the Miami-Dade Police Department escorted the passenger, a woman believed to be in her 40s, off the plane without incident. Argemis Colome, a department spokesman, said the passenger was not arrested and police treated the incident as a disturbance call.

“She was pretty much dealt with administratively by the airline,” Colome said.

Blessing said the passenger has been placed on the airline’s list of customers who are not allowed to fly pending additional investigation.
