The crew of an American Airlines plane forced family members consisting of a father, wife and young daughter (one and a half years) to leave the plane because of their body odors after some passengers complained of it.

A variety of press sources said that some of the plane's passengers complained to the crew on board of the unpleasant and disturbing smells emanating from the family members ’bodies, and they expressed their grumbling about it in their participation in the flight.

The sources added that the crew members of the plane responded to the requests of the complaining travelers and asked the family members to leave the plane for an emergency order, and then informed them that they could not travel on the flight because of the complaints submitted by passengers about them.

The father said that one of the employees working on the flight asked him to leave shortly after sitting on the chair, and informed him of the pilot's decision to take him off because of the smells of his body and the body of the rest of his family.

The airline stated that it had given family members a hotel room and meal vouchers for one night, and had reserved seats for them on a new trip, denying that they had been removed from the plane because of their Jewish religion, as the father claimed in a complaint he submitted to the judicial authorities.
