BANGOR – Airport officials were alerted Friday that a plane from Amsterdam carrying a passenger on the federal security no-fly list might be diverted to Bangor International Airport, although ultimately it returned to the Netherlands.

Officials were told about 3:30 p.m. that KLM Flight 685 headed to Mexico City, Mexico, might make an unscheduled stop at BIA after a passenger was identified as being on a federal watch list, Assistant Airport Director Tony Caruso said Friday afternoon.

Federal Department of Homeland Security officials apparently had determined that the plane’s passenger manifest included someone barred from entering the country.

But about 4 p.m., as the 747 was 650 miles from BIA, the plane turned around and returned to Amsterdam, airport officials said.

No information about who the person was or the number of passengers on the plane were available.

Other planes have been diverted to BIA because of passengers being on the watch list.
