     'Russian-speaking' man tried to exit both flights mid-air to smoke
      Las Vegas flight  was forced to divert from Charlotte to Albuquerque
      Second flight headed to Chicago had to land in Kansas City instead
      Twice the man had tried to open the cabin door to have a cigarette


A New York man caused two flight diversions in less than 12 hours after he tried to open the cabin door to have a smoke while the plane was in the air.

On both occasions the man had tried to light a cigarette inside the plane before heading for the emergency exit, forcing the flights to divert.

The first disruption took place on an overnight flight from Las Vegas to Charlotte, North Carolina, which was forced to land in Albuquerque.

Diverted: The man attempted to open the cabin door on the U.S. Airways flight to Charlotte, North Carolina, because he wanted a smoke

The man, who reportedly spoke with a Russian accent, had been shaking the seat in front of him, attempted to light a cigarette and gone for the door to 'exit for a smoke,' authorities told KCTV.
The man was interviewed by police and FBI agents but as he had not managed to open the cabin door, he was released without charges.

Passengers reported that the man yet again tried to light a cigarette inside the plane and refused to stay seated.

Stopped again: The second flight, to Chicago, was forced to land at Kansas City Airport, pictured, when he repeated his behaviour and headed for the emergency exit to 'have a cigarette' mid-flight

An off-duty federal agent and several passengers restrained the man and the airplane was forced to land at Kansas City Airport at 11.30am.

'He was just being obnoxious,' one passenger said. 'He was being belligerent.'
According to another passenger the man spoke Russian and 'kept trying to open the exit door to step outside and have a smoke.'


The man was escorted off the plane and the flight was able to continue to Chicago an hour later.
He was yet again interviewed by authorities and released without charges in Kansas City.
