Delta Air Lines is being fined $50,000 for ordering three Muslim passengers off planes after the airline's own security officials cleared them to fly.
The days of passengers bringing rabbits, turtles and birds on airplanes as support animals could be ending. Trained dogs get the seal of approval.At the captain’s request, a Delta supervisor and security officer interviewed the couple outside the plane. Delta’s corporate security office reported that the couple were U.S. citizens returning home to Cincinnati and “raised no red flags,” and they were cleared to fly, according to the consent order.
The couple was not named in the consent order, but their representatives identified them as Faisal and Nazia Ali of the Cincinnati area. The Council on American-Islamic Relations, which represented the Alis, questioned the size of the penalty against Delta.
