Women Removed from Flight Over Crop Top Incident

In a recent incident that has stirred controversy, Californian women Tara Kahiti and her friend were reportedly ordered off a Spirit Airlines flight for wearing crop tops. The incident occurred mid-flight, as the women filmed their confrontation with a flight attendant who asked them to de-board the aircraft. Their main argument was that there were no explicit dress code policies prohibiting such attire, stating that 'there's nothing that says you can't wear a crop top.' The ensuing altercation raised questions about the enforcement of dress codes by airlines and the treatment of passengers regarding their clothing choices. The situation escalated to the airline returning to the departure gate. Spirit Airlines later confirmed to the BBC that it was investigating the incident while also mentioning its contract of carriage, which includes certain clothing standards for passengers. This event shines a light on the broader conversation around personal expression in fashion and the judgments that can be placed on women in particular when it comes to clothing, particularly in public spaces like airplanes. Many are questioning why the airline's crew deemed their attire problematic enough to warrant removal from the flight, provoking discussion on acceptable dress codes within the airline industry.
