Delta flight canceled after suspicious bookings October 13, 2001 Posted: 9:43 AM EDT (1343 GMT) NEW YORK (CNN) -- Delta Air Lines canceled a non-stop flight from New York to Amsterdam Friday night after two men, described as Middle Eastern, bought one-way tickets and two others inquired about doing so, a source involved in the investigation told CNN. Delta spokesman Tom Donahue would only say the flight was canceled due to a "security-related issue," and that two passengers were detained by the FBI prior to boarding at John F. Kennedy International Airport. According to the investigative source, none of the names of those who inquired about the one-way tickets was on the FBI's watch list for potential terrorists. Delta Flight 80 was kept at the gate until the scheduled 8:15 p.m. departure time to see if the men checked in, the source said. Donahue would not reveal details about the identities of the two men detained. He said the remaining passengers are being booked on another Delta flight to Amsterdam.
