Arman Tsarukyan removed from American Airlines flight, takes private jet to RAF event

Arman Tsarukyan and two members of his team were removed from an American Airlines flight for alleged violations including using a phone during takeoff and having a tray table open. Tsarukyan was traveling to Philadelphia for his scheduled fight at RAF on Saturday. After being removed from the commercial flight, he quickly arranged a private jet to ensure he would still make it to the event venue on time. The incident did not affect his ability to compete at the upcoming tournament.
