A passenger on a Delta flight from Los Angeles to Nashville allegedly tried to breach the cockpit and hijack the plane Friday.
Delta Flight 386 crew members tackled and zip-tied the man before anyone was harmed, according to a FOX Television Stations report.
They later turned the suspect over to the FBI, authorities said.
FBI Albuquerque said there was no active threat to the public.
The flight was expected to take off once again around 8:15 p.m. MT and complete the journey to Nashville by midnight Central Time.
