Passengers Applaud as Woman Who Refuses to Wear a Mask is Removed From Flight

A woman was asked to leave a Frontier Airlines flight from Cincinnati to Tampa on December 3 after she refused to wear a mask and was heard swearing by a staff member.

Kelsi Harris sat in the row behind the woman and recorded videos that showed a staff member asking the woman to wear a mask.

“Ma’am, you have to wear your mask on the entire flight. If you are unable to do so, you will be removed from the flight,” the staff member can be heard saying to the woman.

“Thanks, a******,” the woman is heard saying.

“OK, you’re done. Let’s go, you’re gonna go off the aircraft,” the staff member says to the woman.

The video continues to show another officer retrieving the woman’s luggage and escorting her off the plane. “Bye, Karen,” a passenger is heard saying to the woman, as other passengers applaud as she heads off the plane.

Frontier Airlines requires all passengers and employees wear masks on flights, according to the company’s website.

“This level of protection is important for everyone’s well-being and if you don’t wear an approved face covering, you may lose future travel privileges on Frontier.” Credit: Kelsi Harris via Storyful
