Hijackers seized an AeroMexico passenger plane in Mexico with more than 100 people on board on Wednesday but the incident ended quickly. without bloodshed, and nine suspects were detained.
In the first hijack drama to hit Mexico in decades, pilots of the Boeing 737 radioed in after taking off from the Caribbean resort of Cancun to say they had been hijacked in mid-air, Transport Minister Juan Molinar told reporters.
About two hours after the plane landed at Mexico City's international airport, its original destination, Molinar said all the passengers were safely off the aircraft and that there was no bomb threat.
"The passengers are safe. There was no bomb," Molinar told Mexico's Televisa channel shortly after TV images showed police leading the hijackers off the plane in handcuffs.
Nine men were detained, the daily El Universal reported on its website.
Mexican media said the hijackers had threatened to blow up the plane unless they were allowed to speak to President Felipe Calderon, whose presidential jet took off from Mexico City for the southeastern city of Campeche shortly after the drama.
