Entire Southwest Airlines flight forced to
deplane in Nashville after passenger refuses to wear mask
The Las Vegas-bound
flight was delayed for an hour
An entire Southwest
Airlines flight in Nashville was forced to deplane Tuesday morning after a
passenger allegedly refused to wear a mask and would not leave the plane,
the airline shared with Fox News.
The female passenger
boarded the 9:20 a.m. flight to Las Vegas, where she was reportedly asked
to wear a mask, but she refused. The plane returned to the gate and
officers were called to the scene to deal with the passenger.
The passenger was
eventually escorted off the plane and her ticket was refunded.
The woman also would
not follow instructions to leave the plane, which forced all passengers to
deplaned so they could escort her off, the Tennessean reported.
The woman was taken
to the Southwest gate for a ticket refund and then taken to a non-secure side
of the airport, the outlet shared. She was not arrested.
The incident
reportedly caused an hourlong delay.
Southwest, like all
major U.S. airlines, have implemented mandatory mask policies for
passengers amid the coronavirus pandemic.
