A woman who says she was groped during an international flight, prompting her to launch a campaign to draw attention to such mid-flight assaults, sued Delta Air Lines on Tuesday over what she described as its anaemic response to her case. In the lawsuit filed in US District Court in Seattle, she said she eventually escaped her seat and ran to the back of the plane to alert the flight crew. They allowed her to switch seats with another passenger for the duration of the flight, she said, but before landing asked her to return to her original seat. The flight crew neither contacted law enforcement about the episode nor took steps to identify the passenger, the lawsuit said. Delta, based in Atlanta, declined to comment on pending litigation, spokesman Anthony Black said in an email.
