Rep. Kat Cammack (R-FL) documented the state of her American Airlines flight Monday which prompted a response from the airline.
Cammack was traveling on a direct flight to Washington, DC, to continue her work on Capitol Hill. The representative took a photo of an armrest on her flight that was covered in tin foil.
“Come on @AmericanAir…. Aluminum foil for real?!? This flight to D.C. ought to be interesting…,” Cammack captioned the photo.
On X, the airline responded within the hour that Cammack posted the photo.
“Keeping our planes in top-notch shape is always the goal. We appreciate you sharing these concerns to us. When you have a moment, kindly join us in [direct message] with your confirmation trip code and flight details,” the American Airlines account responded.
American Airlines is among the largest stateside airlines, flying over 2.1 million flights last year. However, the airline continues to add international routes.

The airline was also at the center of the crash between one of its planes and a Black Hawk Sikorsky H-60 from earlier this year in Washington’s Ronald Reagan International Airport. All passengers of both crafts died as a result. The recovery of their bodies and the extraction of the aircraft took several days after the fact.
Ever since the crash, American Airlines stock has been on the decline. Starting the year off at $17 per stock, it ended the end of the market close Monday with $9.60.
The Washington Examiner reached out to American Airlines for comment.
