Two women removed from BA flight ‘after altercation over Maga cap’
Punches were allegedly exchanged in ‘extraordinary’ incident that delayed plane at Heathrow for two hours
Two women were removed from a British Airways flight at Heathrow after an altercation reportedly provoked by a Make America Great Again (Maga) cap.
The incident occurred on Saturday as the women, aged 40 and 60, were preparing to board a flight bound for Austin, Texas.
Witnesses said that one woman took offence at her fellow passenger’s red Maga hat, worn by supporters of the former US president Donald Trump, and asked that it be removed, the Sun reported.
Punches were allegedly exchanged between the two women, both booked to fly in premium economy, before they ended up squaring up to one another in the cabin. When the captain called for assistance, police arrived at the scene to escort the passengers from the aircraft.

Whatever you think about Trump, the person that demanded the other person remove their hat because they didn't like it was in the wrong.
