In the latest of a series of high-profile disruptive passenger incidents on American Airlines this week, flight attendants duct-taped a first class passenger to her seat after she physically attacked them and tried to open the plane’s door. Multiple media reports are circulating concerning American Airlines Flight AA1774 from Dallas Fort Worth (DFW/KDFW) to Charlotte (CLT/KCLT) on Tuesday, July 6. The female passenger reportedly had an inflight mental breakdown. She assaulted and bit a flight attendant and attempted to open the forward boarding door.

On a different flight on Tuesday, AA2289, operating between Los Angeles (LAX/KLAX) and Miami (MIA/KMIA), the flight crew ordered passengers to put their hands on their heads for nearly an hour before the plane landed. Upon landing, police armed with machine guns boarded the aircraft to arrest a passenger.
The arrest happened when 2289 landed in Miami (flight landed at 4:42 ET). Passengers were ordered to put their hands on their heads for 45-60 minutes before landing. Strangely, passengers were repeatedly told not to film on the plane.

On Monday, July 5, a group of teenage high school students traveling on American Airlines Flight 893 from Charlotte (CLT/KCLT) to Nassau (NAS/MYNN) were non-compliant with federal mask requirements. American Airlines says they became disruptive to other customers and refused to follow crew member’s instructions while onboard. As a result, American Airlines removed the students from the plane. However, the flight was delayed overnight in Charlotte as a result.
