Banned from BA aircrafts

Naomi Campbell has reportedly been banned from flying with British Airways (BA) following her alleged fight with a police officer at an airport last week.

Naomi Campbell has reportedly been banned from flying with British Airways (BA) following her alleged fight with a police officer at an airport last week.

The supermodel was released on bail after she was arrested at London's Heathrow Airport following a dispute over her luggage, which was lost in the airport's recent Terminal 5 luggage fiasco.

Campbell allegedly spat at an officer and was handcuffed as she left the BA aircraft, which had yet to take off from Heathrow.

And now the airline has banned the 37-year-old from flying on BA planes, according to the Sun.

A source said: "The decision was not taken lightly. She is a valued customer.

"But it is unthinkable for BA to talk about the safety of staff and passengers as a priority, and then let her off."

But Campbell's spokesman is determined to have the ruling overturned, saying: "Naomi has been flying with BA for nearly 30 years and has been a good customer.

"She hopes this can be resolved amicably." - Wenn
