FLORIDA, USA — A video of an incident on a Spirit Airlines flight has gone viral on social media and now COVID-19 precautions are being called into question.
A flight from Florida to New Jersey on Monday was reportedly delayed and eventually deplaned after a family, including a toddler without a face mask, was confronted.
An attendant was captured on a cell phone video asking the family to exit the plane, per Spirit guidelines.
According to the family, the child was eating at the time. Therefore, they refused, prompting the deplaning of all passengers.
Spirit guidelines say everyone above age 2 is required to wear a face mask on its flights, in compliance with federal law.
All the passengers heading to New Jersey, including the family, were eventually allowed back on the plane.
The incident caused a two-hour delay.
