Omaha Flight Delayed As Some Passengers Are Removed

The investigation continues after some disruptive passengers are removed from a flight from Omaha on Tuesday.

Delta Airlines says its flight from Omaha Eppley Field to New York LaGuardia returned to the gate to allow for the unruly passengers to be removed from the flight.

The flight was then allowed to leave for New York City once those passengers were removed from the plane amid accusations of drunkeness and a racial slur being used.

There are reports from other passengers that the people removed from the aircraft were from the company "Buildertrend."

The company tweets, “These reports are distressing to hear and we do not stand by any such behavior. Such comments and actions do not align with our values.”
