Spirit Airlines

Woman tasered, handcuffed and removed from Spirit Airlines flight following refusal to wear face mask

Share

On 25 October, a Spirit Airlines Airbus A320 (registered N633NK) arrived at San Juan, Puerto Rico from New York, Newark, United States as flight NK2322.

Tensions between passengers, however, got really high after a group of passengers refused to put their masks over their mouths during the flight and were moving freely about the aircraft. One passenger was tasered and handcuffed by police before being removed from the plane and taken into custody.

Most, if not all airlines request you to wear a protective face mask throughout your journey, from airport entrance to airport exit. Spirit Airlines is no exception.

Working for 25 years in the aviation industry, I changed my career and became a firefighter/EMT in 2021. I like to spend my free time with my two sons, girlfriend, family and friends. I love to travel, wine and dine and support my favourite football squad KV Mechelen. Once an Ironman 70.3 finisher and dreaming of completing a full distance.
