一家三口因嬰兒啼哭被趕下飛機引發熱議——是保護乘客,還是濫用職權?

2026 年 4 月 7 日

美國一對夫婦塔什(Sydney and Kyle Tash)近日搭乘忠實航空(Allegiant Air)時,因其年幼的女兒哭鬧,遭空服員以「臉紅疑似發燒」為由舉報。最終,這一家三口在佛羅里達州(Florida)的航班上,被航空公司以醫療安全為由要求離開飛機,事件在網上引發廣泛爭議。

本文核心內容:
· 發生地點:佛羅里達州蓬塔戈爾達機場
· 關鍵實體:忠實航空(Allegiant Air)、塔什夫婦(Sydney and Kyle Tash)
· 核心爭議:嬰兒因哭鬧臉紅,被空服員判斷為「發燒」並拒絕其飛行

空服員指嬰兒「發燒」 拒絕登機引發爭議

這宗事件發生在一趟從佛羅里達州蓬塔戈爾達(Punta Gorda)飛往印第安納波利斯(Indianapolis)的忠實航空返程航班上。塔什夫婦的女兒艾莉(Ellie)在機上有些煩躁並哭鬧了幾分鐘,隨後一名航空公司職員上前處理。

儘管一家三口順利通過安檢並到達登機口,但在就座後,他們被要求出示登機牌,並被詳細詢問關於嬰兒的姓名和出生日期等問題。母親悉尼(Sydney)在一段觀看次數高達四百萬的TikTok影片中解釋:「他們在對講機上稱她為『身份不明的嬰兒』。然後告訴我們,一名空服員舉報我們的寶寶發燒了,因為她哭得臉紅。」

@Allegiant Air We were unable to fly back home to Indiana with Allegiant on Friday 3/27 at 9pm due to a baby being naturally pale and red in the face from crying on a plane. First they didn’t believe our babies birth certificate from Indiana at check in and they had several people look at it. We went through TSA just fine no issues. We boarded our flight like normal. Before boarding we took off babies shirt because she was hot on the flight from Indy to Florida we figured she’d probably be sweaty then too. She had also just ate baby food. Anybody with a child knows they are messy. They removed the gentleman in the aisle seat told him there was a seat up front away from kids. The whole two rows we were in were full of children and their parents. Someone in a vest came onto the plane and ask for our boarding pass again. I handed it over. They then asked me how old the baby was, her name, her birthdate and went back by the bathrooms and kept talking into the phone and walkie talkie. They called her an unidentified infant over the walkie. Then they told us a flight attendant reported us for a baby being feverish… said medical professionals wouldn’t clear her to tly and that we were going to have to get off. Nobody would come and see her. Nobody on the flight was required to have a temperature checked. Nobody would even come and take her temperature. They said well she looks red and it looks like a rash. Several other babies were on the flight and also crying. We were told to get off the flight or police would take us off of it even though we weren’t arguing or cussing. As we walked off we asked again why are we getting kicked off the plane and they stated we weren’t getting kicked off. I asked to speak to a supervisor. I told the lady I’m not mad at you I’m mad at the situation. Im not complaining about you specifically. A supervisor wouldn’t come and talk to us in person only on a phone. We got on the next flight they had which was 11am the next day. No accommodations, no car to get around, no place to stay other than to call family back to grab us from the airport again. We were so lucky we hadn’t been just in town by ourselves. We waited an hour for them to drive back and grab us. We have no luggage as they wouldn’t grab it off the plane. No car seat or stroller for the baby. They gave us an unclaimed car seat that has no padding and isn’t age appropriate. Car seat was way too big had to hold her head the whole ride back to Kyle’s grandparents house because it was too big. We missed work the next day, had to get our pet sitter to stay another day, didn’t get to pick up our two other kids that were at dads for spring break and missed our foster care class which was the only one that aligned with our schedule for the next two months. We got on our next flight no issues. When we checked in they did state usually you can’t tly tor 24 hours if there’s illness when I asked if there were notes in for the night previous for when I called customer care. However we were put on the next flight 12 hours later. They even tried to make it better putting us in priority boarding and extra leg room which we didn’t care about. We chose the back of the plane on purpose, less windows, it’s usually darker for the baby to nap, and usually other people with kids chose the back. There was such a difference in the second flight sitting up front. Everyone was so much nicer and friendlier. We called Allegiant and they just keep telling us we are not able to get any sort of compensation for our time or experience. They wouldn’t email or give me any policies on traveling with infants and they wouldn’t connect me to a supervisor of any kind. @Allegiant Air also if you’re just here to make comments about a baby being naked or there being more to the story get fucked

她續稱,航空公司表示醫療專業人員不會批准嬰兒飛行,因此他們必須下機。「沒有人願意過來看她,機上沒有人被要求測量體溫,甚至沒有人來給她量體溫。他們只說她看起來很紅,像有皮疹。」悉尼表示,儘管機上還有其他嬰兒在哭,他們仍被告知若不自行離開,將會被警察帶走。

忠實航空回應:基於醫療專業建議

更令這對夫婦困擾的是,雖然航空公司為他們預訂了次日的航班,卻未提供任何住宿、交通或補償,他們的行李還滯留在原來的航班上。

對此,忠實航空發言人回應稱:「我們的機組人員有責任做出即時決策,以優先考慮機上所有乘客的安全與福祉。如果機組人員對乘客的旅行能力有疑慮,特別是涉及嬰兒或潛在醫療問題時,他們可能會暫停登機,以諮詢我們的醫療資訊服務提供商MedLink。」

發言人補充說:「在這次事件中,我們的機組人員在觀察到引發擔憂的症狀後諮詢了MedLink,這是標準程序。根據現有資訊,MedLink建議繼續旅行不符合該兒童的最佳利益。」

網民意見兩極 家長無奈引發同情

這起事件在網上引發了超過三千條評論,意見兩極。一些網民支持航空公司的做法,認為這是出於對孩子的關心。一名評論者寫道:「如果空服員和登機口工作人員請求醫療聯繫來評估嬰兒並遵循其指導,那是出於對這個孩子的關心和擔憂,沒有其他原因。」

然而,更多人對這家人的遭遇表示同情。一名自稱是醫療服務提供者的網民評論道:「我會要求見見是誰評估了我的孩子。因為未經同意評估未成年人違反了醫療倫理!」另一名網民則質疑:「所以航空公司現在開始提供醫療建議了?」還有人指出,航空公司應對臨時更改航班的旅客進行賠償,並感嘆:「為什麼這個世界要讓新手父母的生活更加困難?」
