Airlines issued an apology to Pro Football Hall of Famer Terrell Davis after he was escorted off a flight in handcuffs and temporarily placed on a no-fly list.
“We have apologized to Mr. Davis for his experience and continue to review our handling of incidents like this to protect our highest priority — the safety of our customers and crew,” United said in a statement on Tuesday, July 30.
Davis was banned from flying on the airline after an incident with a flight attendant led to him being escorted off a July 13 flight to Orange County, California. The ban was lifted days later, according to United. The airline says the flight attendant — whom Davis, 51, said accused him of physical violence after he asked for a cup of ice for one of his sons — is no longer employed by United.
"Mr. Davis received this letter [notifying him of the ban] the day after the incident,” United said on Tuesday. “It was generated due to the report of the flight attendant — who is no longer employed by United. The day after the letter was sent, we discussed with Mr. Davis’ team that it had been rescinded.”
The statement came shortly after Davis took to Instagram on Tuesday to slam the airline for placing him on the no-fly list.
