In her tweet, she said that she had a very bad experience with the airline and with an official simply known as Ann at the Murtala Mohammed Airport Terminal 2 in Lagos.
She said the airline refused to allow her son to board the flight, saying he is too young to travel when he was not going alone
Not, she is lying, Air Peace says
“He was accompanied by an adult (family relative) with all the necessary documents (international passport, Emirates Identity card and a letter of authorisation) including the parents’ copy of international passports and an Emirates ID. Why would she deny him without any good reason? She was adamant, the angry mother said.
The airline responded to the woman’s allegations, through its Public Relations Officer, Stanley Olisa and said that the adult and the child were not allowed to travel due to security concerns, saying the passenger could provide the needed documents.
