Ural Airlines did not allow a child with cerebral palsy on board in a special chair

The flight attendant of Ural Airlines did not allow a ten-year-old child with cerebral palsy on the flight, since the boy was in a special chair. About it reported child’s mother Marina Shaidullina on VKontakte.

The incident happened on September 6 on the flight Simferopol – Yekaterinburg.

“Senior flight attendant Anton did not let my son and me on board the plane with a special positioning seat that helps a child with severe cerebral palsy sit comfortably on chairs and chairs unsuitable for such people,” the woman said.

At the same time, two weeks ago, the family was allowed on the plane with such a seat.

After publications in the media, the Sverdlovsk transport prosecutor’s office initiated an inspection. The department added that if there are grounds, prosecutorial response measures will be taken. In the press service of Ural Airlines, Kommersant reportedand that the airline is conducting an internal audit to ensure that families with a special seat are not allowed on board.
