MISSOULA — A routine landing Tuesday, Oct. 22, 2024, at the Missoula Airport turned into chaos after a man went through TSA checkpoints, on a flight path and then tried to gain access to the cabin of an Alaska Airlines plane .

Justin Seymour faces felony burglary and aggravated burglary charges in the incident.

An airport security officer heard a TSA agent yelling “Stop it” and “Trespass, trespass, trespass.”

Court documents state that Seymour went through a security checkpoint, onto the jetway of the plane that had just landed and then attempted to enter the plane’s cabin.

The employees – some of whom were injured by Seymour – blocked him.

The law enforcement officers quickly apprehended Seymour, who was screaming that he had to get to Estonia, and figured it wasn’t that hard to learn to fly a plane.

Despite the drama, airport officials were able to bring things under control quickly.

“Our public safety was right there within probably 60 or 90 seconds, that person was handcuffed and escorted off the plane,” said airport director Brian Ellestad.

Ellestad says the plane was delayed more than three hours after the incident.

Seymour is being held on $500,000 bond for each charge he faces in the Missoula Jail.
