Arman Tsarukyan removed from flight, switches to private jet for RAF event

Arman Tsarukyan and two members of his team were removed from an American Airlines flight allegedly for looking at his phone during takeoff and someone on his team opening a tray table. Tsarukyan was traveling to Philadelphia for his Saturday fight at a RAF tournament. After being taken off the commercial flight, he quickly arranged a private jet to ensure he would still make it to the event location on time. The incident did not prevent him from reaching Philadelphia for his scheduled bout.
