Arman Tsarukyan Removed from American Airlines Flight to Philadelphia
UFC fighter Arman Tsarukyan and his companions were deplaned from an American Airlines flight bound for Philadelphia on Thursday. The flight originated in Los Angeles.
Footage of the incident circulated online, prompting a response from American Airlines. An airline spokesperson stated, "On April 16, American Airlines flight 513 returned to the gate at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) for customers who refused to follow federal regulations."
The statement continued, "Safety is our top priority, and we expect our customers to comply with crew member instructions while on board our aircraft, which include staying seated while the aircraft is taxiing."
Tsarukyan was traveling to Philadelphia for his scheduled match at RAF 08, where he was set to face Urijah Faber in the co-main event.
Following the incident, Tsarukyan secured passage on a private flight. He shared a new video on Instagram, humorously remarking, "I hope they’re not going to kick me out from this plane. OK guys, I’ll be five hours in Philadelphia."
