American airlines Delta Air Lines said that the incident with the Russian passenger on the flight Seattle — Atlanta was not because of the accusations of men in the occupation of the Crimea.
Russian citizen Sergey Eremin previously said in social networks about the fact that he dropped out of a plane because his neighbor «didn’t like the fact that I had a Russian passport, and on his shoulders was a Russian Olympic jacket. He said «you Russian – invaders of the Crimea.»
According to Eremina, he was asked to leave the plane and offered the next flight in 45 minutes because «the man is uncomfortable to fly with you.» Russian claims that he agreed that he had no problems with law enforcement.
Later, the airline representative told RIA Novosti that the passenger wasn’t so.
«Passenger violated safety rules, trying «to break through the closed door at the gate,» said Delta Air Lines and added that Eremin really offered the next flight to Atlanta.
After some time, he said, Sergey Eremin has filed a complaint with the airline and received a response from the assistant from the General Manager Susan Curtis. «Please accept our apologies for the events that you described on the phone. We are now investigating the incident», — is spoken in the message.
