TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — Passengers flying on Spirit Airlines could now be removed from a flight if a tattoo or piece of clothing is deemed offensive, according to the airline’s updated policy.

The new Contract of Carriage, which was updated on Wednesday, states that passengers may be removed from flights if they are barefoot, “inadequately clothed,” including see-through clothing, exposed breasts or buttocks.

The updated policy also states that anyone with clothing or tattoos that are “obscene” or “offensive” can be required to leave the plane. These rules are in addition to rules about disruptive or unruly behavior, being under the influence, or interfering with the flight crew.

According to USA Today, the previous Contract of Carriage prohibited offensive or inadequate clothing, but did not specify tattoos. In October, two California women claimed they were removed from a flight because they were wearing crop tops.

WFLA.com has reached out to Spirit Airlines for comment.

The airline recently filed for bankruptcy due to struggles from the pandemic and looming debt payments. The airline tried to merge with JetBlue, but dropped the merger after the justice department blocked the deal.
