Orlando Melbourne International Airport reopens after student pilot tries to access jet

A student pilot is in custody after he allegedly hopped a security fence early Thursday at Florida’s Orlando Melbourne International Airport and boarded a passenger jet that was undergoing maintenance, an airport spokeswoman said. The student, who is originally from Trinidad and had a Florida driver’s license, parked his red sedan curbside around 2 a.m. before jumping the fence, running across the apron and boarding the American Airlines Airbus A321, spokeswoman Lori Booker told reporters at a news conference.
