Spanish airline Vueling has faced backlash after a group of Jewish passengers were denied boarding on a flight from Valencia to Paris. The incident, which occurred on Tuesday, has raised concerns over potential discrimination.
According to reports, the passengers were told they could not board the aircraft due to "unruly" behaviour. However, witnesses and the affected individuals claim the decision was unjustified and rooted in bias.
Vueling has since issued a public apology, stating: "We deeply regret the situation and are conducting an internal investigation to understand what happened." The airline emphasised its commitment to inclusivity and non-discrimination.
The incident has sparked outrage on social media, with many calling for greater accountability from airlines. Jewish advocacy groups have also condemned the event, urging Vueling to take corrective action.
This is not the first time Vueling has faced criticism over passenger treatment. The airline has pledged to review its policies to prevent similar occurrences in the future.
