An American Airlines jetliner headed from
Miami to London turned around in mid-flight today because a passenger refused
to wear a Covid mask, the airline said.
“American Airlines flight 38 with service from
Miami to London returned to MIA due to a disruptive customer refusing to comply
with the federal mask requirement,” the airline said.
Police were waiting when the Boeing 777
carrying 129 passengers and a crew of 14 landed back in Miami.
When the plane landed police escorted that
passenger off the plane without incident, a police official told CNN.
American Airlines said that pending further
investigation this passenger has been placed on a list of people barred from
flying with the airline.
The Federal Aviation Administration said in
January 2021 it would observe a zero tolerance policy toward people who reject
federal rules mandating mask-wearing on US domestic flights.
This came as flight attendants reported a high
number of incidents of verbal and physical abuse from travellers who refuse to
wear a mask.
