Just a couple days after we heard that Jetstar had refused passage to two wheelchair users because they didn't have "carers", we learn that Jetstar refused to carry 6 out of 8 wheelchair using paralympians.
This isn't the first time Jetstar refuses to carry more than two wheelchair users. I spoke about other incidents like this in a previous post. Why is it that Qantas can fly more than 2 wheelchair users, but Jetstar cannot?
How can a traveller with a disability trust Qantas when there is a risk of being bumped onto a Jetstar flight, and as a result refused boarding altogether?
