Three Sikh religious musicians who were removed from a US Airways flight leaving Sacramento International Airport have reached a settlement with the airline.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Northern California and United Sikhs, who had accused the airline of racial profiling in the November 2008 incident, announced the agreement Monday.
Financial terms were not disclosed, but Jaspreet Singh, representing United Sikhs, said his clients have received an apology from the CEO of US Airways. Airline officials declined to comment Monday.
