Jason Derulo wants public apology from airline company

Los Angeles, Feb 15 (PTI) Singer Jason Derulo is still waiting for bosses at American Airlines to "make amends" publicly after an incident at a Florida airport earlier this month.

The "Wiggle" singer and his entourage were running late for a flight from Miami to Los Angeles and they decided one member of the group would stay behind and check all the luggage onto the next flight while they headed out.

Derulo's friend reportedly tried to check 19 bags, and called the singer on the plane, and told him the airline staff wanted to charge him USD 4,000 for the extra luggage - at which point Derulo, who claimed he has never had to pay for his bags due to his air miles, decided to "turn the plane around" and sort out the situation.

As he and his group disembarked the plane, Derulo alleged the captain came out of the cockpit and started cursing at them, ordering them to get off the aircraft. Once off the plane, Derulo and his aides were met by 15 police officers, which the singer called "super embarrassing".

Jason has since resolved the situation with bosses at the company privately, but he is still seeking a public apology, reported People magazine.

"They've made amends personally, but haven't made amends publicly. I'm waiting on a statement that they said they would release," Derulo said.

"But we'll see if that happens this week. I really hope so... I really hope it happens because I really would like to just be done with the situation.
