Female Student Kicked Off Flight Because of Nut Allergy
FEMALE STUDENT – A cabin crew ordered the female student to get off plane because she had severe nut allergy.
All airports have their own policy so that they could protect the staff passengers, aircraft and the establishment from any accidents, threats or crimes. Everyone who goes in and out of the airport were checked.
Passengers were even asked if they have severe allergies because if their allergies attack during their flight, the pilot will be forced to land on the nearest airport to secure the passenger’s medical attention.
Recently, there was a British student who was thrown off a flight because of her nut allergy. Based on a report from LadBible, the cabin crew immediately ordered Meleri Williams to get off the air vessel after learning about her severe allergy.
The 20-year-old student from Cardiff University obeyed the staff to leave the Aerolineas Argentinas aircraft.
Williams volunteered to teach at a primary school that was 1,150 miles away. She was forced to sit on a bus for 26 hours just to arrive at the school.
“My allergy is very severe and could lead to anaphylactic shock were my airways could close up and I could potentially die. I do carry an Epipen, but did not want to put myself in a position where there was a high risk and I could suffer from an allergic reaction mid flight…”
“Thankfully when we did eventually arrive at Esquel, we did receive a tremendous welcome there and also in Trevelin where we were staying,” she added.
According to the report, the student said the Aerolineas Argentinas aircraft needs to review their policy regarding the people who suffers with nut allergies like her. This was the fist time she was thrown off a flight. She said other airlines treated her with consideration.
“Everything had been very easy until this incident. We flew from Gatwick to Buenos Aires with Norwegian Airlines and they were very attentive and helpful,” she said.
