Delta Air Lines is facing legal action after a passenger claimed that explicit videos were displayed on in-flight entertainment screens during a transatlantic flight. The lawsuit alleges that the airline failed to prevent the inappropriate content from being shown, causing distress to passengers.
Details of the Incident
The incident reportedly occurred on a flight from the US to the UK, where passengers were shocked to see sexually explicit material playing on the seatback screens. The plaintiff, who has chosen to remain anonymous, described the experience as "deeply unsettling" and claims that Delta did not take immediate action to address the issue.
Passenger Outrage
Other passengers on the flight have also expressed their discomfort, with some stating that the content was visible to children onboard. "It was completely unacceptable," said one traveller. "The crew seemed unprepared to handle the situation."
Delta's Response
Delta Air Lines has issued a statement acknowledging the incident and apologising for any distress caused. The airline has launched an internal investigation to determine how the explicit content bypassed its content filters. "We take this matter very seriously and are working to prevent such occurrences in the future," a spokesperson said.
Legal Implications
The lawsuit seeks compensation for emotional distress and negligence. Legal experts suggest that the case could set a precedent for how airlines manage in-flight entertainment content. "Airlines have a duty to ensure that their systems are secure and appropriate for all passengers," said a legal analyst.
