Black passengers who were briefly asked to leave an American Airlines flight in January have filed a lawsuit in federal court in New York alleging racial discrimination. The men claim they were told to disembark due to a complaint about body odor, which they say was false, and noted that five other black men were also removed from the flight. American Airlines stated they are investigating the claims and emphasized their commitment to providing a positive customer experience. This incident comes after the NAACP previously warned Black travelers about discrimination on American Airlines in 2017, resulting in the airline promising changes and the advisory being lifted later on.
