Delta Air Lines said it has issued a life ban to the passenger who went on a foul mouthed pro-Donald Trump rant aboard a plane at Atlanta last week.
The man, who has still not been named, was filmed yelling at other passengers as the plane was preparing to take off to Allentown.
Delta had apologized earlier and admitted ‘this customer should not have been allowed to continue on the flight.’
In addition to banning him from ever flying on a Delta service again, the airline promised to refund in full the price of the ticket for every passenger on the flight.
Delta CEO Ed Bastian sent a letter to all Delta employees admitting the man should have been booted from the flight.
"This individual displayed behavior that was loud, rude and disrespectful to his fellow customers. After questioning the customer, our team members made the best decision they could given the information they had and allowed him to remain on the flight. However, if our colleagues had witnessed firsthand what was shown in the video, there is no question they would have removed him from the aircraft," Bastion wrote.
"He will never again be allowed on a Delta plane."
"The heightened tension in our society means that now more than ever we must require civility on our planes and in our facilities. We must stay true to Delta’s core values and treat one another with dignity and respect."
