SEATTLE (AP) — Alaska Airlines says 14 people have been banned from the company’s flights after the passengers were rowdy, argumentative and refused to wear masks on a flight from Dulles Airport to Seattle.
Airline spokesperson Ray Lane said those passengers were on Flight 1085 from the D.C.-area to SeaTac on Thursday night.
Lane wrote in an email Friday that their behavior was unacceptable and the airline apologized to guests on the flight who were made uncomfortable.
To date, Alaska Airlines has banned 302 passengers for violating its mask policy since it took effect. That number includes the 14 passengers aboard Flight 1085.
