An air passenger, his wife and baby daughter were asked to leave an airplane after complaints by other passengers
According to reports, the man and his family were accused of having an unpleasant body odour that made other passengers uncomfortable
The man has expressed anger, saying he and his family were unfairly treated by both passengers and the airline.
The man, Yossi Adler and his wife Jennie and baby daughter were ejected from a flight because other passengers were saying their body smelled badly.
The man lamented that he and his family were poorly treated by the airline, and they were unable to travel as planned. He insisted that they were discriminated against based on their religion
“There’s a religious reason for some reason that they’re kicking me off the plane. We are Jews, We don’t have odour, ok? Nobody here has odour. All of a sudden, as soon as they took us off, they closed the gate and then they said, ‘sorry sir, some people complained you had body odour and we’re not letting you back on’.”
However, American Airlines confirmed that the couple and their daughter were ejected from the flight but said another was booked for them. The airline debunked his claims of been unfairly treated but said they were fairly treated and given meal vouchers.
“Mr Adler and his wife were removed from the flight when several passengers complained about their body odour. They have been booked into a hotel for the night and given meal vouchers. They have been rebooked on a flight Thursday.” The American airlines stated.
The couple said they came out of the plane and had to ask other people at the airport if truly they smelled.
