Realtor fired after in-flight racist outburst leads to arrest

A 67-year-old Arizona real estate agent, Layne Arthur Lundeen, was arrested in Maryland after an American Airlines flight from Dallas diverted to Baltimore due to a disruptive passenger who allegedly hurled racial slurs; he was duct-taped and zip-tied to a seat by fellow travelers. Long Realty severed its affiliation with him, stating his conduct did not reflect the company’s values. Lundeen faces disorderly conduct and second-degree assault charges and was scheduled to appear in court in October.

The rollout of 5G wireless networks has caused concern for the aviation industry due to potential interference with navigation systems near airports. In-flight phone use may also contribute to air rage and disrupt cabin crew service.

Disruptive passenger behavior, including air rage, is also a concern with the potential for everyone talking at once.
