Spirit Airlines Faces Backlash for Removing Women Over Crop Tops

Three women, including a mother with a toddler, were removed from a Spirit Airlines flight for wearing crop tops, sparking controversy over the airline's dress code policies.

  • Tara Kehidi and Teresa Araujo were asked to leave a Spirit Airlines flight from Los Angeles to New Orleans after removing their sweaters, revealing crop tops.
  • A fellow passenger, Carla Hager, who was also wearing a crop top, supported the women and was removed from the flight along with her toddler.
  • The women claim they were not shown a dress code policy and were treated unfairly, despite offering to put their sweaters back on.
  • Spirit Airlines stated that their contract of carriage allows them to deny boarding to passengers who are inadequately clothed but did not specify crop tops in their policy.
  • The incident, captured on video and shared on social media, has prompted Spirit Airlines to investigate the matter further.
