YouTuber Adam Saleh claims he was removed from a flight 'for speaking Arabic'
Delta Airlines claims Saleh 'sought to disrupt the cabin with provocative behaviour'
YouTuber Adam Saleh claims he was removed from a flight going from London to America for speaking in Arabic. He was heading from Australia to the USA after his 2016 tour, via Heathrow. But on boarding the flight, Adam says he started speaking in Arabic to his mother and friend but says passengers began complaining they weren't comfortable and asked for him to be removed.
Delta have released a statement on the incident which says: 'Upon landing the crew was debriefed and multiple passenger statements collected. Based on the information collected to date, it appears the customers who were removed sought to disrupt the cabin with provocative behaviour, including shouting. This type of conduct is not welcome on any Delta flight. While one, according to media reports, is a known prankster who was video recorded and encouraged by his traveling companion, what is paramount to Delta is the safety and comfort of our passengers and employees. It is clear these individuals sought to violate that priority.' The YouTube sensation told Tulip his side of the story.
