What sort of flimsy excuse is this. So people that are wheelchair bound are not allow to fly in Ghana. The local airline operators in Ghana should be ashamed of themselves right now. It baffles me when some African countries celebrate mediocrity and backwardness.

You need to get the facts of the story before throwing blame. I don't think there is anywhere in the world where airlines discriminate particularly disabled persons. However you must comply with their policies. Something has not been mentioned in this story.

Its a stupid policy

I live in a developed country and that is what we call discrimination

A handicap person should be treated equally

People protest for things like this

Its a policy and there is no policy that is silly. Its either you accept it and abide by it or you choose to fly another airline. Thats how it is everywhere developed or not. By the way thanks for reminding everyone you live in a developed world. Nobody cares.

You will come to realize that discrimination is not accepted in any policy

Surely the airlines can help her to her seat without using the wheelchair. Except if she's asking to be flown seated on the wheelchair which is unacceptable given the safety implication.

Dis case is not d same as d indonesian incident which is right and mind u not all policies are just, an E.g of this is d apartheid policy.

The policy is for their own safety, its not wickedness. My relative who cannot walk would not be allowed to travel alone without an Assistance ...

If she was with someone to carry her around, then they would have allowed her

Ma'am, I will not agree with you on this. That's her decision and not the airline. I'm paraplegic and I do travel alone. All they require is to place a call on arrival to see the friend or relative you will be staying with and make sure you're in safe hands.


I wonder why the lady was treated like that. With all I have read, that's not her first time. I think the airline must face the wrath of the law and GMB should sign the disability law GEJ refused to assent...!

Its for her own safety. She is supposed to be with someone to assist in carrying her abt. Some planes do not have wheelchair space
Then I think machines helped her in Naija in boarding d plane. Its quite unfortunate.

Thank you for your comment
You are very brave indeed to be paraplegic and still move on with your life

It is completely wrong for any one to discriminate any one for any reason

The airline needs to be questioned.

Yea its anti human but am very sure they have their reasons besides its not all the airlines in Ghana that have that same policy so, we should stop being emotional and always look at things from another perspective before judging ...

It is not the matter of being emotional, but being realistic. I tell u my friend, they don't have any justifiable reason order than being wicked & inhuman. In other civilized climes, ways of making life worth living & easy by the day for special persons like her is what they re improving by the day & Ghana Airlines re doing the opposite...yet u saying we shouldn't be emotional?

My gud friend, i can assure u that there re no gud reasons any where to uphold such policy or policies that ll treat special people in that manner.
