After flying for about eight hours, a Tokyo-bound flight, All Nippon Airways, has returned to Los Angeles, for carrying a wrong passenger, Punch reports.

The crew reportedly discovered that one of the passengers had boarded the wrong plane, thus causing the pilot to turn the aircraft around.

We gathered that the aircraft had to return to Los Angeles International Airport at 7:33 p.m, after departing at 11:36 a.m.

The development was tweeted live as it unfolded by top American model, Chrissy Teigen, who was on-board the flight.

She wondered why the aircraft was turning around, hours into the journey.

The airline has issued a statement saying that security procedures were what warranted the decision by the pilot to turn around.

The aircraft was initially made for the US government, but failed defense tests and was returned to the UK.
