Airlines Ban Alcohol, Increase Crew After 'Mob Mentality Behavior' on Several D.C.-bound Planes
Airlines with flights traveling to and from the Washington, D.C. area are making changes to ensure their passengers and staff are safe in the wake of
riots incited by President Donald Trump at the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday.
These efforts come as some Trump supporters heading to D.C. over the past several days have created unsafe conditions aboard flights, with videos on social media showing individuals
harassing passengers (including Senator Mitt Romney) and crew members,
refusing to wear masks, and disobeying instructions by flight attendants. In one incident, a passenger was
projecting "Trump 2020" on the ceiling of the plane cabin.
In a
statement on Wednesday, Sara Nelson, the International President of the Association of Flight Attendants (which represents nearly 50,000 flight attendants at 17 airlines), called for airlines and law enforcement to increase security measures for air travel, noting that "the mob mentality behavior that took place on several flights to the D.C. area [Tuesday] was unacceptable and threatened the safety and security of every single person on board."
