Naomi Campbell receives air ban from British Airways
Naomi Campbell has reportedly been banned from flying with British Airways following her alleged fight with a police officer at an airport last week.
The supermodel was released on bail after she was arrested at London’s Heathrow airport following a dispute over her luggage, which was lost in the airport’s recent Terminal 5 luggage fiasco. Campbell allegedly spat at an officer and was handcuffed as she left the British Airways aircraft, which had yet to take off from Heathrow. And now the airline has banned the 37-year-old from flying on British Airways planes, according to British newspaper The Sun.
A source tells the publication, “The decision (to ban her) was not taken lightly. She is a valued customer. But it is unthinkable for BA to talk about the safety of staff and passengers being out priority, and then let her off.”
But Campbell’s spokeswoman is determined to have the ruling overturned, saying, “Naomi has been flying with BA for nearly 30 years and has been a good customer. She hopes this can be resolved amicably.”

Naomi is really lucky not having to fly with those incompetent fools after what they did to her! British Airways is the absolute worst airline for losing luggage and customer service! There are plenty of other airlines that offer good service , why put up with the abuse??????
