Spirit Airlines Faces Backlash After Women Removed for Wearing Crop Tops

Two passengers claim they were unfairly ejected from a flight, sparking debate over airline dress codes and alleged discrimination.

  • Tara Kehidi and Teresa Araujo were removed from a Spirit Airlines flight for wearing crop tops after initially boarding with sweaters.
  • A male flight attendant reportedly instructed the women to cover up, citing the airline's clothing standards, but did not provide specific policy details.
  • The women, along with a mother and her toddler, were escorted off the plane despite passenger support and offers to put their sweaters back on.
  • Spirit Airlines' Contract of Carriage mentions clothing standards but lacks specific guidelines on midriff-baring tops, leading to claims of inconsistent enforcement.
  • The incident has prompted discussions about potential legal action and accusations of sexism and discrimination against the airline.
