AIRTOURS' TREATMENT OF DISABLED PASSENGERS

That this House is shocked by Airtours' policy towards disabled travellers illustrated by the case of Mr David Wood, a wheelchair user, who was barred from boarding his flight hours before departure as he was deemed incapable of travelling with the airline unaccompanied, giving no consideration that he is a fit man who has flown unhindered for many years on different airlines; and calls on Airtours to change its policy towards wheelchair passengers and not to make a blanket assumption that they all need to be accompanied by a carer.
