American Airlines has issued an apology to a South Carolina mother and her young son after they were removed from a flight because of their genetic skin condition.

Jordan Flake said she and her 1-year-old son had settled into her seat for a flight to South Carolina on Feb. 28 when an American Airlines employee inquired about the state of her skin and her suitability to fly.
