Russian ice hockey star Pavel Bure will demand 20 MLN roubles in damages from British Airways at a hearing, which starts later today. In October the former NHL player was ordered off a flight from Moscow to Los Angeles via London.
The pilot refused to take off until Bure – known as The Russian Rocket – left the plane after mistaking him for a football hooligan.

Bure filed a lawsuit in August after failing to receive an apology or any compensation from the company.
