Delta Flight 2531 Declares Emergency Over Disruptive Passengers (thetravel.com)

Delta Air Lines Flight 2531 declared an emergency about two hours into its Tampa-to-LaGuardia trip after two passengers became disruptive, with the pilot reporting a passenger with dementia yelling profanities. The crew squawked 7700 over New Jersey after a ground station said LaGuardia requires a medical emergency declaration for an EMS response, and the Boeing 737-900 landed on runway 04/22 at 1:49 p.m. local time, reaching gate 68 six minutes later. The two passengers were deplaned first; the incident follows Delta Flight 5090's supervisor request less than a week earlier over a dispute among flight attendants.
