SL Airlines denied 15-yr-old autistic boy to board flight from Bengaluru
A 15-year-old autistic boy was denied boarding a Sri Lankan Airlines flight on May 16 from the Kempegowda International Airport (KIA) in Bengaluru.
According to a Times of India report, the boy was denied after it was suspected that he could create a problem for fellow passengers and pilots. It further stated that crew members of the aircraft kept following the 15-year-old boy, following which the mother complained to the airport police and the airline. However, the incident has come to light recently.
“Two male ground staffers of Sri Lankan Airlines came up to us and asked questions about our 15-year-old younger son, who is autistic and communicates using a mobile app.
