Preflight Sermon Gets Plane Preacher Kicked Off Alaska Airlines Flight
The evangelist said the delay was God’s timing, and a crew safety concern led Alaska Airlines to remove her and bar her for the foreseeable future.
- On Thursday, Alaska Airlines removed Florida evangelist Whitney Lynn from a San Diego-bound flight at Orlando International Airport after she preached the gospel to fellow passengers during a flight delay.
- Alaska Airlines stated the flight crew "became increasingly concerned" about the passenger's behavior, citing safety reasons for the removal, while Lynn claimed she was targeted for sharing her faith with fellow travelers.
- As staff escorted her off the plane, Lynn characterized the situation as "spiritual warfare," alleging "demons don't like the name of Jesus," and later questioned an employee about whether he was from Puerto Rico.
- Lynn received an email from Alaska Airlines prohibiting her from traveling on Alaska Airlines, Hawaiian Airlines, or Horizon Air while reports about her recent travels remain under investigation, though she plans to contact an attorney.
- The Washington Post recently reported that Lynn frequently preaches on planes, a practice often met with online mockery; federal law outlines potential fines or imprisonment for interfering with flight crews, despite her stated intent to continue.
