A woman who flew out of DFW International Airport on an American Airlines plane last summer was handed the largest unruly passenger fine to date for hitting and spitting on fellow passengers as well as crew members, the FAA said Friday.
The woman, who was not named, was fined $81,950 for her alleged behavior on a flight on July 7, 2021, between DFW International Airport and Charlotte, the two largest American Airlines hubs.
According to the Federal Aviation Administration, the woman fell into the aisle and then “hurt the flight attendant that offered to help.”
