An incredible story that comes from Northern Europe and that features a couple of blind people who risked not getting on the plane.
Flying by plane is known to involve a series of stringent rules put in place by the companies, starting with luggage which must comply with certain parameters of size and weight in order not to risk incurring surcharges.
But the story coming from the Nordic countries is really surreal. Talk about the complaint from a blind couple who risked being grounded due to the refusal to pay a premium for a guide service.
It all happened with a plane of the Scandinavian Airlines where is it Eythor Kamban Thrastarson and Emilia Pykarinoutwo blind Icelandic citizens, had to embark together with their 1-year-old daughter to go to Greece to spend a few relaxing days.
The blind couple are totally independent and are able to carry out every task with ease. It is a pity that once they arrived at the gate they were stopped by the company employees who, in order to get them on board, demanded the purchase of another ticket for a person who acted as their guide.
Faced with the head of the family’s refusal to pay for another ticket, the company threatened to let them land. In the end, only the intervention of one of their Icelandic compatriots resolved the matter. The man offered to act as guide by acting as guarantor with the company. In this way, the family was able to get on the plane to go to Greece.
But Eythor Kamban Thrastarson he certainly does not intend to stop the matter here. He not only denounced the unfortunate episode on RÚV television, but also said he intends to take legal action against the company supported by the Icelandic Association of the Blind and the Icelandic consul in Greece.
We’ll see how this issue is resolved. At the moment, apparently no apologies have been received from the airline’s top management Scandinavian Airlines very popular in Northern European countries.
