A first-class Delta Air Lines passenger has filed a lawsuit, alleging she was removed from a flight due to racial discrimination. Teresa Hudson Jordan, traveling with her daughter, claims she was addressed offensively by a white flight attendant on Delta Flight 5792. Jordan alleges she was removed for looking at the attendant, who reportedly chastised her, stating it was an act laced with racial hostility.
The incident reportedly took place on a scheduled flight from Greensboro Airport to New York LaGuardia Airport on March 27, 2025. Witnesses on the flight reportedly supported Jordan, condemning the actions of the flight attendant, while stating that Jordan and her daughter did nothing wrong. The lawsuit further notes passengers observed the flight attendant laughing with a coworker post-removal.
Delta Air Lines responded to the pending litigation, with a spokesperson noting the airline's "zero tolerance for discrimination of any form."
