JetBlue Airline Bans Passenger FOR LIFE After He Flies While Waiting Results for Coronavirus Test — And His Test Was Positive

A JetBlue passenger was banned from the airline for life after taking a flight from New York to Florida while waiting for the results from a coronavirus test.

The passenger later discovered his test was positive.

It is unclear when he found out about his testing results.

FOX News reported:

A JetBlue passenger who flew from New York to Florida while awaiting test results for COVID-19 has been banned from flying with the airline for life.

The news comes after JetBlue Flight 253, which arrived at Palm Beach International Airport (PBIA) on Wednesday at 8:30 p.m, was held on the tarmac for three hours while medical personnel helped to remove two elderly passengers. The rest of the flight’s 112 passengers were eventually allowed to leave the aircraft at 11:30 p.m.

JetBlue later said that one of the passengers on the plane had previously been tested for the coronavirus, and that he had boarded the flight knowing that he was awaiting the results. Health and fire officials said the passenger’s test came back positive, though it’s unclear exactly when the passenger learned of the COVID-19 diagnosis.
