The governments top experts in infectious diseases on Tuesday criticized American Airlines' decision to pack flights full while the coronavirus outbreak continues to grow across much of the United States. Fauci, the top infectious disease expert at the National Institutes of Health, and Redfield made the comments in response to questioning by Sen. Bernie Sanders during a Senate health committee hearing. Air travel has increased slowly since mid-April although it's still down 75% from normal and some flights have been packed. American plans to increase flights by nearly 60% starting July 7 compared with June, which could help avoid full planes. Delta Air Lines, Southwest Airlines, JetBlue Airways and Alaska Airlines say they will continue to limit capacity, in some cases through September.

The man, a ticketed passenger on the flight to Newark, ran past the gate agent and onto the jet bridge, American Airlines spokesman Ross Feinstein said. Once on the plane, the man repeatedly asked other passengers for the time, according to cellphone video a passenger provided to CNN affiliate WSVN-TV. Passenger Ari Teman told CNN affiliate WFOR-TV the man was also shouting that "it was his plane and that he was the FBI." "Everyone started standing up to watch and they were blocking the aisle and then they called for security and he was dragged off the plane," Teman told WFOR.
