The incident involved two women, one wearing a red 'Make America Great Again' hat, which provoked an altercation just before their flight to Austin.
Witnesses reported that one woman asked the other to remove the hat, followed by physical exchanges and a confrontation that prompted police intervention at Heathrow.
British Airways acknowledged the flight delay due to the incident and expressed regret for the inconvenience, noting that it was an unusual occurrence.
With the upcoming US presidential election, tensions were noted to be high, contributing to the altercation over the controversial MAGA hat.
