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

Arman Tsarukyan and two friends were removed from an American Airlines flight because he was looking at his phone during takeoff and someone from his team had their tray table down. The incident occurred as Tsarukyan was traveling to Philadelphia for his scheduled bout at RAF on Saturday. Despite the setback, Tsarukyan quickly arranged a private jet to ensure he reached the event location on time. The grappling match against Juraja Faber at RAF 08 remains confirmed for this weekend. The airline removal did not ultimately impact his ability to compete.
