An American Airlines flight en route to London from Miami was forced to turn around about an hour into the trip due to a passenger “refusing to comply with the federal mask requirement,” an airline spokesperson said Thursday.
State of play: The flight, which carried 129 passengers and 14 crew members, was about 500 miles into its over 4,000-mile journey when it was diverted back to the Miami International Airport.
- The disruptive passenger has been placed on American Airlines’ internal refuse list pending further investigation.
- No customers or crew members were injured.
