Three black men have filed a racial discrimination lawsuit against American Airlines, alleging that the carrier briefly removed them from a flight after a complaint about body odour.

The men, Alvin Jackson, Emmanuel Jean Joseph and Xavier Veal, who were not seated together and did not know each other, allege that every black man was removed from the January 5 flight from Phoenix- Arizona, to New York.

The lawsuit says that the airline should be forced to pay unspecified damages for the “trauma” the men endured.

The Texas-based airline said it was investigating the matter as the allegations did not align with its values.
