American Airlines has suspended several employees after three black passengers were removed from a January flight from Phoenix to New York. The men, who later sued for racial discrimination, claimed they were singled out due to a complaint about body odor. CEO Robert Isom called the incident "unacceptable" and admitted the airline "fell short" of its customer commitments. The company is working with civil rights groups and creating an advisory group to improve black passengers' experiences. The airline has faced previous allegations of racial bias, with the NAACP considering reinstating a travel warning.
