Fight on flight to Provo over man's refusal to wear mask

PROVO, Utah — Things were far from the "friendly skies" on a flight to Provo over the weekend when a fight broke out after a passenger refused to wear a mask.

Rylie Lansford shared video of the altercation that occurred just moments after she boarded the Allegiant flight from Mesa, AZ to Provo on Saturday.

Lansford says the fight started after a flight attendant asked a man who had already boarded to wear a face mask that covered his mouth and nose. The passenger was already wearing a face shield, but Allegiant requires masks to be worn at all times.


An mild argument ensued between the reportedly belligerent passenger and the flight attendant.

Soon thereafter, another passenger became involved in the dispute, loudly chastising the man who refused to wear a mask while also using foul language.

Flight attendants told both men they would be kicked off the flight if they did not tone down their behavior. However, Lansford said the second man continued on a tirade and threatened the original man.

At that point, with the flight ready to depart, security was called in to remove the man who refused to wear a mask.

As the man got up to be escorted out, Lansford believes he took a punch at the second passenger. A brief physical scuffle occurred and Lansford ran to the front of the plane.

Lansford says the flight crew handled the entire situation really well.

While the original man was escorted off, the second passenger was not removed from the plane despite his participation in the fight.

When contacted by FOX 13, Allegiant reiterated its position on wearing face masks on flights.

"Face coverings must be made of a solid material, fully cover the mouth and nose, fit snugly against the face, and be secured under the chin. Prohibited coverings include those with exhalation valves, holes (such as lace or mesh), neck gaiters, and bandanas. Face shields may be worn in addition to a face covering, but not as an alternative."

The flight eventually departed and arrived in Provo without any further incident.

Homie doesn't fly Allegiant. :slap:


Delta First Class they hand out a bottle of water before takeoff, followed by food and drinks after takeoff. Can't wear a mask while eating and drinking. No clue how they treat the commoners in the back of the bus. :dance:

GWiz and I will be 1st class to/from Vegas next week. :dance:

Buncha fuk'n peasants flying commercial....:spdchk:

When ya travel farther than the next bayou a dugout canoe doesn't work very well. :slap:

FYI.....

She stole Angerson from you :rofl: :rofl:

I’m sure it was a friend that told her about it :rolleyes:

Flying Allegiant prior to mask mandates was enough to cause the occasional 'scuffle' :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Flew Allegiant one time... never again! :cuss:

Says the guy that fly's a crop duster from Lafayette to Della Croix. :spdchk:

I flew nearly 70 legs in 2019...4 of them were not 1st class. Company/Client pays for coach, I always upgrade on my own dime. When I didn't fly 1st class, it wasn't available. I'm currently Platinum with United, but I still pay for my upgrades, or outright 1st class, like the Vegas trip. Bumps to first class now are few and far between. I'd rather ensure I get it. The whole flying experience is way better in 1st. Getting through security, boarding, drinks, room, everything. My size is the primary reason I do it, but I prefer all of the perks that go with it.

I will not fly until all this mask crap is over.:cert:

That might be a while unfortunately.

Oh no; I copied her. :yesnod:
She called you that a couple of weeks ago, shot tea out my nose laughing when I first read it. :funnier: :funnier:

So Murrat is now Angerson? :lol:
