JetBlue Apologizes For Booting Toddler From Flight

JetBlue is now apologizing to the parents of a little girl who was removed from a flight earlier this week.

FOX News Radio’s Dave Anthony explains:

Audio clip:

The toddler was flagged like she was a terrorist. Removed from JetBlue flight 510 in Newark Tuesday night:

Riyanna’s Mom: “And I said, For what?”

Little Riyanna’s Mom and Dad were told she was banned:

Riyanna’s Dad: “It’s absurd. Why would an 18 month-old child be on a ‘no-fly’ list?”

The TSA told the airline the girl wasn’t on the list. And then JetBlue blamed a computer glitch and told the New Jersey family they could re-board the plane and go to Fort Lauderdale, but they refused; humiliated.

Riyanna’s Dad: “We were put on display like a circus act because my wife wears a hijab.”

JetBlue says it followed proper protocol, but apologized.

    It sounds like racial profilling, what else could it be. An 18 month old banned from flying. I find it scarry that an employee of Jet Blue would not question this. What kind of morons work for this airline. Imagine your safety is in the hands of this moron.
