Port of Portland Police have not said if the passengers will face any charges.

(PORTLAND, Ore.) - A US Airways flight from Seattle to Las Vegas was diverted to the Portland International Airport in Oregon Thursday afternoon.

A US Airways spokeswoman says the reason was a dispute between two passengers and flight attendants on the Airbus A320 jet. The disturbance caused the pilots of flight 1473 to divert to PDX.

Shortly after the plane landed at 4:55 PM, the two passengers were kicked off the plane.

The flight then took-off headed for Vegas at 5:44 PM and was scheduled to land around 7:36 PM.
