Delta Air Lines will soon ban pit bulls and "pit bull mixes" from flying in its cabins out of safety concerns under a new policy.
According to CBS News, the policy goes into effect July 10.
"These updates, which come as the peak summer travel season is underway, are the direct result of growing safety concerns following recent incidents in which several employees were bitten," Delta announced.
There have been multiple incidents of service dogs biting passengers in cabins and airline employees at airports in recent years. A high-profile incident in Atlanta in June 2017 resulted in a passenger requiring 28 stitches in his face after a support dog viciously attacked him while sitting in its owner's lap.

Wait, dogs travel in kennels in pet baggage, that's the rules. When the heck have we allowed dogs in the cabin? Do they have a ticketed seat? I've always been restricted to a kennel shipped in baggage? WTH?
In my opinion it would be insane to let a pit bull into the cabin of an aircraft. Some people can say whatever they want but pit bulls are dangerous no matter how they were raised. With so many nice breeds I have never understood why anyone would want a pit bull. It's like a kid playing with matches, something no good is going to happen eventually.
All across America they need to be banned! Breed for killing, what part of pitt bull is not understood? Breed to take down a 1000 pound bull! DNA is for killing, it is their nature. Owners are playing Russian roulette with these killing weapons!
They could allow them, but with muzzles.
8:00pm Obviously you have not flown in the past 10 years.
