UNITED STATES authorities last week turned back a KLM Boeing 747 flight from Amsterdam to Mexico City as, according to its manifest, it was carrying two passengers included on a US ”no fly” terrorist list. Whilst the passengers had cleared all the security aspects of Schiphol Airport and the aircraft was not due to land in the US nevertheless the Department of Homeland Security was within its rights to refuse entry in its air space. The aircraft had to return to Amsterdam, offload the two passengers, and then operate with a fresh crew back to Mexico.
