American Airlines settles lawsuit filed by 3 Black men who were ordered off a flight

American Airlines said Thursday it has settled a federal race discrimination lawsuit filed by three Black men who were ordered to deboard a flight last January. Financial details of the settlement weren't released. American called it an "amicable resolution" to the lawsuit, which was filed in May in federal court in New York. The plaintiffs said they and five other Black men were ordered to deboard an American flight from Phoenix to New York last January after a flight attendant complained about an unidentified passenger's body odor. The three men said they weren't responsible for any body odor, weren't seated near each other and didn't know each other.
