In another incident on a passenger plane, the JetBlue airline has been accused of unfairly expelling not a passenger, but an entire family from one of its flights.

According to the NBC affiliate in Ft. Lauderdale, FL, Tamir Raanan, Mandy Ifrah and their three children were on a plane of that company last July 2 at the Hollywood-Fort Lauderdale International Airport bound for New York, when the little boy The couple's 1-year-old started kicking one of the front seats.

The passenger who was occupying it got upset and an exchange of words was generated with the minor's parents. Minutes later, a crew member asked the family to get off the plane.

As is already usual in this type of situation, the incident was recorded in a video taken with a cell phone, in which parents are heard asking the agent why he was removing them from the aircraft. The employee does not respond.

In a second video, the family is seen leaving the plane asking the same question, but again they do not answer. Local police officers ask those involved to calm down.

Although the family was accommodated on a flight the next day, he claims that the luggage was not returned to them until a week later. She also complains that the airline has vetoed them, without giving them a reason. So they have hired a lawyer to determine how to respond to what they consider to be abuse.

JetBlue has denied the allegations and said in a statement that there are more elements in this story that have been told to us, such as that the couple - according to the airline - physically threatened the passenger in question and verbally assaulted him with swear words.
