From FoxNews.com….
Spirit Airlines changed the wording of a tweet claiming a New Jersey couple failed to comply with its mask protocols after videos of them being kicked off a Monday flight appeared to show a flight attendant citing the couple’s young children maskless on board.
The budget carrier initially said Ari and Avital Eisenberg, of Toms River, N.J., refused to follow a federal mandate that requires airline passengers to wear masks. The couple was with their children, — Rikki, 2, and Daniel, 7, who has special needs — after spending Passover in Florida.

“We are aware of incorrect information circulating about Spirit Airlines Flight 138 from Orlando to Atlantic City. The flight was delayed due to the adults in the party not complying with the federal mask requirement,” the original airline statement said while noting the family and all the passengers were taken off the plane before being allowed to re-board.
