“The police have been asked to find the flight to help our crew notify the customer that their return reservation has been canceled and he is no longer welcome to fly JetBlue,” the statement continues. “The safety of all customers and crew members is JetBlue’s first priority. Our policy requires that all customers aged 2 years and over wear a face cover for the entire trip.” The airline’s policy is that all passengers aged two years and over must wear a facial cover during the flight.
TMZ also reported that a JetBlue representative said a customer verbally abused the team during the flight and refused to put on the mask after removing it mid-flight, before allegedly sneezing and coughing into a blanket.
A JetBlue spokesman has not yet returned requests for additional comments.

A Pump spokesman has not yet returned a request for comment.
