(CNN) — A United Airlines flight bound for Tel Aviv turned around mid-flight Thursday evening due to unruly passenger behavior. United flight 90 departed for Tel Aviv from Newark Liberty International Airport and returned to Newark nearly three hours later "due to disruptive passengers on board," United Airlines said in a statement. There have already been 151 unruly passenger reports logged this year, according to Federal Aviation Administration data through January 18. It is unclear whether the passengers involved in the incident on United Airlines flight 90 on Thursday will face enforcement action from the FAA. The FAA has civil authority to propose fines up to $37,000 per violation for unruly passenger cases.
