Ahmedabad: A 12-year old kid suffering from thalassemia major was not
allowed to travel in SpiceJet flight from Ahmedabad to Chennai for Bone
Marrow transplantation because of poor health conditions, alleged the
father of kid here on Saturday.
However Spicejet officials claimed that the kid did not have 'Fit to Fly' certificate as per Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) norms.
"The boy was suffering from some bone marrow problem. He was not carrying fit to fly certificate. And later none of the single doctors had given him a 'fit to fly' certificate'. If he was not fit to fly as per the DGCA , how we can allow him for the air travel," said a senior SpiceJet official.
"My son Jignesh was not allowed to travel in a SpiceJet flight on October 16 as the officials of the airlines had denied the boarding pass to us saying my child is not fit enough to travel," said Kalu Antroliya, a resident of Kadegi village in Kutiyana tehseel in Porbandar and the father of the thalassemic child.
