NAACP warns black travelers about flying American Airlines

The NAACP is warning African-Americans to be careful when flying on American Airlines — citing a “pattern of disturbing incidents” over several months.

“In light of these confrontations, we have today taken the action of issuing national advisory alerting travelers — especially African Americans — to exercise caution, in that booking and boarding flights on American Airlines could subject them disrespectful, discriminatory or unsafe conditions,” the civil rights organization said in a statement.

The NAACP cited four incidents in its warning about the Forth Worth, Texas-based carrier, including one involving a woman who allegedly was removed from a flight because she complained about her seat.

The warning — which took effect Tuesday — came just over a week after Tamika Mallory, who co-chaired the Women’s March on Washington this year, was removed from an American Airlines flight from Miami to New York . . .
