AMERICAN AIRLINE SUED FOR RACIAL DISCRIMINATION

A Texas based airline has been sued by three black men for discrimination alleging they were evicted from flight for complain of body odour.

The three men who were not related reported they were briefly removed from their seats by attendant on the flight flying from Phoenix, Arizona to New York on the 5 January.

“American Airlines singled us out for being black, embarrassed us, and humiliated us,” the men stated.

It was reported that the American Airline tried to re-book them on other flights, but there was no flight available to fly them to New York. So, they were taken back to their initial seats on the flight. They later learned a flight passenger complained of body odour which led to the removal of all black men on board.

The American Airline stated they are investigating the matter and reassured that the claims does not reflect their core value.
