A flight turned chaotic when dozens of Jewish children were removed after their summer camp teacher allegedly caused a disturbance mid-air. The incident led to the teacher's arrest, while the airline firmly rejected claims of anti-Semitism.
What Happened Onboard?
Passengers reported disruptive behaviour from the group, including shouting and refusal to follow crew instructions. The teacher in charge was accused of escalating the situation, prompting the pilot to request law enforcement upon landing.
Airline Responds to Allegations
The airline released a statement emphasising that the removal was solely due to safety concerns and not motivated by religion. "We prioritise the safety and comfort of all passengers," a spokesperson said.
Community Reaction
Jewish advocacy groups have called for an investigation, expressing concern over potential bias. Meanwhile, some witnesses defended the airline's actions, stating the disruption was severe enough to warrant intervention.
Legal Consequences
The arrested teacher faces possible charges related to unruly passenger behaviour, which could include fines or travel bans under aviation laws.
