British supermodel Naomi Campbell claimed she is boycotting British Airways that reportedly banned her for life earlier this month due to its "complete disrespect for the passengers," according to media reports today.

The 37-year-old supermodel was arrested on a plane at Heathrow Airport last Thursday after spitting on an airport officer who was attempting to intervene in a row over a missing piece of luggage.

Campbell was removed from the plane in handcuffs and later was freed on bail without being charged.

As a result, B.A. reportedly banned Campbell, who "has been flying with British Airways for nearly 30 years and has been a good customer."

While the airline never officially confirmed the ban, Campbell has been talking to the Brazilian media that B.A. is desperate to have her back on board.

"Someone from B.A. called me and asked that I return to fly with them, but this will not occur so early," she said Wednesday.

Campbell said she's boycotting the airline on behalf of "all those who have been disrespected."

"They didn't find my bag-said it wasn't in the system-and there was a complete disrespect for the passengers."

"I am not speaking for myself. I am speaking for all those who have been disrespected."

A B.A. representative disputed Campbell's claims, telling a British newspaper, "We are not aware of any pleading phone calls to Ms. Campbell."

Campbell was in Rio de Janeiro to raise awareness to Brazil's dengue fever epidemic.
