– The story was like this. According to Business Insider, supporters of US President Donald Trump boarded as a group on the airliner heading from Washington, DC to Arizona.
They wore red hats with President Trump’s election slogan’MAGA’ (Make America Great Again), shouting “USA” and “Fight for Trump” over and over again. The riot continued after the airliner took off. The crew appealed to stop for safety, but to no avail.
As the cabin continued to be noisy, the captain’s announcement came out. “This airliner will fly to Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport in Arizona for 4 hours and 30 minutes. (But) I’m going to land the plane right now in the middle of Kansas and leave the people behind. I don’t care.”
Kansas was the midway point of the airliner’s route, passing over the nearby area at the time. “If necessary, I will really do that. (So) behave politely.”
It was not confirmed whether the fuss had subsided after the captain’s warning announcement came out. However, the airliner arrived at its destination at the expected time.
In a statement, American Airlines said, “At the time, Trump supporters violated the policy of obeying the instructions of the crew and wearing masks on the plane,” and said, “The captain’s announcement is not a problem.”

– This is not the first time that Trump supporters have been up against the plane.
On the 6th, Republican Senator Mitt Romney was killed on a plane heading to Washington. Romney, who is the same Republican and yet “political contempt” with President Trump, was the first ruling party senator who voted in favor of the presidential impeachment trial in February last year.
Trump supporters shouted at Romney on board, “traitors,” “stay back,” and poured out insulting remarks.
The previous day, on an American Airlines airliner, the castle was back and forth between Trump supporters and ordinary passengers. Someone shoots an election phrase on the ceiling with’Trump 2020′ with a beam projector. As some passengers protested, the cabin became a mess.
After a series of in-flight riots by Trump supporters before and after the congressional invasion, US airlines immediately responded. The US Airways Crew Union issued a statement that Trump supporters should ban boarding, saying it could threaten the safety of other passengers.
American Airlines has decided not to serve alcohol on board to ensure the safety of its passengers and crew. It also plans to increase the number of employees working at Washington DC airport.
“On the day of the Capitol Intrusion, I saw several cases of expressing anger to other passengers for political reasons,” said Julie Hendrick, chairman of the APFA. Emphasized.
United Airlines, Delta Air Lines, and Southwest Airlines are also working to come up with alternatives by contacting the police and the Traffic Safety Administration (TSA), CNN said.
