Arman Tsarukyan and two companions were removed from an American Airlines flight to Philadelphia due to alleged violations: looking at a phone during takeoff and opening a tray table. Tsarukyan was traveling to compete at RAF 08 this Saturday. After being removed from the commercial flight, he chartered a private jet to reach Philadelphia in time for his scheduled bout. The incident highlights strict airline rules enforcement, though Tsarukyan managed to avoid missing his fight commitment by arranging alternative travel.
