Naomi Campbell has been banned from flying with British Airways.

The British supermodel - who was removed from a plane after abusing cabin
crew and spitting in a policeman's face last week - has reportedly been told
she is no longer welcome as a customer of the airline.

A British Airways source told Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "Banning her
will send out a worldwide signal that such behavior is totally
unacceptable. The decision was not taken lightly. She is a valued customer.
But her behavior was absolutely shocking. She abused our staff and the
police."

Naomi, however, is convinced she can persuade the airline to reverse their
decision.

Her spokeswoman said: "Naomi has been flying with British Airways for nearly
30 years and has been a good customer. She hopes this can be resolved
amicably."

The 38-year-old beauty was arrested last Thursday (04.03.08) after she
reportedly branded police officers "a**holes" and air crew "bloody fools"
because a piece of her luggage had gone astray at London's Heathrow Airport.

She was handcuffed and removed from the plane kicking and screaming, "Get
off me! Don't touch me!"

Naomi, who was held in a London police station for seven hours before being
released on bail, has not been charged over the incident.
