Naomi Campbell Banned From BA Over Luggage Row
Naomi Campbell has been banned from flying with British Airways following an alleged assault on a police officer in a row over her luggage.
The 37-year-old supermodel was removed from a flight to Los Angeles last Thursday after losing her temper when one of her bags went missing.
The incident happened at Heathrow's Terminal 5, adding to the chaos that has ensued since the terminals opening.
The catwalk star's spokeswoman said: "Naomi has been flying with BA for nearly 30 years and has been a good customer. She hopes this can be resolved amicably."
A BA spokesman said: "All incidents of abusive or disruptive behaviour towards fellow passengers or staff are taken extremely seriously and will not be tolerated.
"We deal with cases on an individual basis and take appropriate action where necessary."
