Terrell Davis, a Pro Football Hall of Famer, has been cleared from a “no-fly” ban imposed by United Airlines after a recent incident on one of their flights.
Davis took to social media to share an email notification he received, informing him of his placement on the airline’s no-fly list following an encounter on July 13. However, the airline has since lifted the ban, and the flight attendant involved in the incident is no longer employed by United.
The incident occurred when Davis and his family were traveling to California for a vacation. He claims that all he did was tap a flight attendant’s arm to request a cup of ice, but was wrongfully removed from the flight.
Davis was handcuffed and escorted off the plane by law enforcement, an experience he described as “humiliating” and “embarrassing.”

According to Davis, the flight attendant overreacted and accused him of hitting them, which led to his removal from the flight.
Davis was detained for a short time before being released with an apology from the authorities.
United Airlines initially sent Davis a letter informing him of his ban, citing a “contract of carriage” and “legal obligations” as a common carrier.
However, the airline has since reversed the ban, and the flight attendant involved is no longer employed by United.
Davis’ attorney, Parker Stinar, has released a statement saying that United’s claim that the ban was communicated to Davis’ team is “blatantly false.”
Stinar also stated that the developments have “only further confirmed there is an urgent need for an overhaul of United’s leadership, who continues to prioritize protecting their image over passenger safety and experience, including at the expense of an innocent family’s reputation and well-being.”
Davis’ team plans to move forward with a lawsuit against the airline.

United Airlines has apologized to Davis for his experience and is reviewing their handling of incidents like this to prioritize passenger safety and experience.
