A passenger who refused to wear a mask forced a Delta flight bound for Los Angeles to return back to the gate

A passenger who refused to wear a mask forced a Delta flight bound for Los Angeles to return back Saturday evening to its point of takeoff at Metro Airport in Detroit, according to Deadline Detroit.

The airline confirmed the incident to the outlet early Sunday.

“The customer was removed from the plane and the flight departed without incident,” about 30 minutes late at 8:56 p.m., spokeswoman Kristin Seay tells Deadline Detroit. “Delta requires masks on every flight for the safety of our customers and crew.”
