An airline has been forced to apologise after a passenger received an 'offensive' code number on his boarding pass.


Delta Air Lines has apologised for any 'concern or misunderstanding' after the code reading 'H8GAYS' was found on by a passenger on a flight from Florida to New York.


But it insisted the codes are computer generated and completely random.


Passenger Jeff White told the Washington Post: "At first I didn't think I read it right.


"I was worried that another customer might think I somehow picked that code. If I were a gay male, I might have thought that a Delta worker purposely gave me that code and that would have made me extremely uncomfortable."


Russell Cason, Delta Air Line spokesman, said: "We will make every effort to ensure that a similar combination does not occur in the future."
