/0 Comments/in , /by

Bullet holes were found on the wing of an American Airlines Boeing jet after landing in Miami from Colombia, according to a report.

Flight AA923 landed at the Miami International Airport on Monday when a routine post-flight inspection found the puncture marks on the 737 MAX 8’s right aileron, which is responsible for lateral balance, AirLive reported.

Despite the puncture marks, the aircraft flew and landed safely.

There were no flight-related issues or injuries on board related to the incident, American Airlines told The Post.

“The aircraft was immediately removed from service for further inspection and repair. We will work closely with all relevant authorities to investigate this incident,” the company said in a statement.

The plane had been in Colombia’s Jose Maria Cordova International Airport on Sunday and was completing a round trip when the bullet holes were discovered, according to AirLive. (Read more from “American Airlines Jet Lands in Miami With Bullet Holes After Trip to Colombia” HERE)

Five people had to be rushed to the hospital after their American Airlines flight suffered “unexpected turbulence,” according to the Federal Aviation Administration.

Flight 1286, an Airbus A321, was traveling from Miami to Raleigh-Durham when the turbulence started just as the crew started to service the cabin.

Three flight attendants and two passengers were taken to a local hospital for evaluation after emergency services met the plane on the runway just after it landed at around 11:30 p.m. on Sunday, said an American Airlines statement, according to CNN.

“It was way quick, totally unexpected turbulence right after they started service,” Lee Francis IV, a passenger onboard the flight, told CNN. (Read more from “Five People Rushed to Hospital After ‘Unexpected Turbulence’ on American Airlines Flight” HERE)

Another One: Flight Aborts Landing at D.C. Airport to Avoid Departing Plane

/23 Comments/in , , /by

An American Airlines flight from Boston aborted its landing at Reagan National Airport in Washington, DC, Tuesday to avoid a plane departing from the same runway.

“An air traffic controller instructed American Flight 2246 to perform a go-around at Ronald Reagan Washington National (DCA) Airport to ensure separation was maintained between this aircraft and a preceding departure from the same runway,” the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said in a statement.

American Airlines said the flight landed “safely and normally” and described the move as standard operation to give the plane more time for the other plane to take off.

“American has a no-fault go-around policy as a go-around is not an abnormal flight maneuver and can occur nearly every day in the National Airspace System,” the airline said in its statement.

“It’s a tool in both the pilot’s and air traffic controller’s toolbox to help maintain safe and efficient flight operations, and any assertion that flight 2246’s canceled approach was more than that is inaccurate,” the airline continued.

Black Hawk Had Key Safety System Turned Off During Deadly DC Crash, Senator Says

/3 Comments/in , /by

A key safety system was turned off on the US Army helicopter that collided with an American Airlines regional jet last week near Washington’s Reagan Airport, killing 67.

Senate Commerce Committee Chair Ted Cruz (R-Texas) told reporters the Black Hawk helicopter had turned off its automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B), which is permitted for military aircraft.

“This was a training mission, so there was no compelling national security reason for ADS-B to be turned off,” Cruz said after a briefing from the National Transportation Safety Board and Federal Aviation Administration.

In the deadliest US air disaster in more than 20 years, the aircraft collided last week, with both craft plunging into the Potomac River.

The helicopter was flying about 100 feet over the maximum allowed for that route, the NTSB said earlier. (Read more from “Black Hawk Had Key Safety System Turned Off During Deadly DC Crash, Senator Says” HERE)

WATCH: American Airlines Passenger Confronts Flight Attendant Over ‘Hate Pin’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A Jewish passenger boarding an American Airlines flight in Miami encountered an unexpected situation when he noticed one of the flight attendants wearing a watermelon pin, a symbol that has become widely recognized as representing pro-Palestinian solidarity. The passenger subsequently documented the incident and shared it on his Instagram account, providing a detailed account of what transpired.

“The flight attendants became visibly upset and informed me that my act of filming them constituted a legal violation. They prevented me from disembarking and insisted that I remove the video footage, which I refused to do,” according to Israel Hayom.

The situation was eventually resolved when law-enforcement officers arrived at the scene and directed the flight attendants to permit the passenger to leave the aircraft. (Read more from “WATCH: American Airlines Passenger Confronts Flight Attendant Over ‘Hate Pin’” HERE)

Airline Blames 9-Year-Old Girl for Being Secretly Recorded in Bathroom (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

After being sued by the family of a 9-year-old girl who was secretly recorded in the plane’s bathroom by a flight attendant, American Airlines is blaming the child for the incident, according to new court filings.

New filings from the airline show the company’s lawyers recently arguing the 9-year-old, who is not identified, allegedly knew or should have known the “compromised lavatory” contained “a visible and illuminated recording device,” according to the Boston Herald.

“Defendant would show that any injuries or illnesses alleged to have been sustained by Plaintiff, Mary Doe, were proximately caused by Plaintiff’s own fault and negligence,” the filing stated.

Lawsuits against the airline regarding the issue were brought forward after a former flight attendant, Estes Carter Thompson III, was arrested in January for allegedly trying to film minors as they used the plane’s bathroom. Thompson was caught after leading a 14-year-old passenger, flying from Charlotte to Boston in September 2023 to the bathroom only to discover there was an iPhone concealed under what appeared to be a broken toilet seat.

After the 14-year-old girl took a picture of the concealed phone and brought forward the claim to her parents the flight crew was alerted, triggering an investigation from officials. Authorities later found that Thompson allegedly had recordings of four other girl passengers using the bathroom, which included the 9-year-old girl who had been flying with her family to Disneyland from Texas, according to the Boston Herald.

WTF: US Patron Booted From Flight to Make Room for Illegal Alien

/0 Comments/in , , /by

U.S. children are being kicked out of schools to make room for illegal immigrants. Airports and other spaces are being repurposed to house illegal immigrants. American taxpayer dollars are being used to provide care and resources for illegal immigrants. . .

“I could not believe what I was watching this morning when I was on Twitter,” says Sara Gonzales before playing a clip of the local news report she stumbled across.

“Airline passengers are advised to check in with your Airlines mobile app as soon as possible — up to 24 hours in advance — and arrive at the airport with at least two hours before your plane takes off. That’s because asylum seekers illegally released by the Department of Homeland Security are waiting on standby for seats, and if you aren’t at the boarding gate when agents start to fill empty seats, you could be bumped,” a reporter warned.

She goes on to tell the story of one patron who “had trouble checking in on the American Airlines app” but still “arrived at the airport an hour before his flight” only to find out “had been bumped from the flight.”

Sara, who’s outraged by the situation, has witnessed firsthand how illegal immigrants are given priority at airports (and everywhere else).

In a public meltdown at the Charlotte airport Wednesday, a gay married couple accused American Airlines of keeping them from their pet dogs when their flight was delayed, a Twitter video showed.

“American Airlines have f**ked us over!” Dustin Miller, 42, appeared to yell at the onlookers in the airport, while his husband, Anthony Thorne, 40, tried to drag him away while clutching Louis-Vuitton luggage, the video appeared to show.

The couple was on their way back to Fort Lauderdale when the drama occurred, Daily Mail reported. While Miller was screaming in the video, Thorne was seen imploring him to “remember your girls”, their dogs Shelby and Dolly, according to the outlet. As the scene reached a climax, Thorne was seemingly able to calm Miller down with repeated entreaties reminding him of who his “girls” were, the video showed.

These Airlines Are Flying Illegal Aliens to U.S. Cities

/8 Comments/in , , /by

Delta and American Airlines are under fire for flying illegal migrants from President Joe Biden’s Arizona processing centers into domestic U.S. hubs on late-night flights.

According to reports, Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport has become a significant hub for illegal aliens to travel around the United States.

Republican commentator Ashley St Clair was on a flight from Phoenix to New York City when she noticed that her Delta Airlines flight was filled with illegal aliens.

In a video posted to social media, St Clair showed illegal migrants lined up waiting to board her flight, and when she asked a representative about it, he said: “What does it matter? They’re humans, too.”
