Frontier Airlines Boots Orthodox Couple
Recently there have been a number of incidents of Orthodox Jews being removed from airplanes by airline staff, allegedly because one or more of these passengers were not wearing masks. Many of these passengers have publicly disputed the airlinesâ accounts. In one recent case, the passengers who were removed claim that the only one not wearing a mask was a young child who was not legally required to do so, and that what really occurred was anti-Orthodox discrimination. This raises the question: Can passengers removed from airplanes on the basis of alleged religious discrimination sue the airline under state civil rights statutes?

NEW YORK (Legal Newsline) - Jetblue Airways Corporation and Primeflight Aviation Services Inc. are facing civil charges after a New York woman was allegedly denied a wheelchair at John F. Kennedy International Airport and as a result fell on her way to the gate, according to New York County court documents.
Jacqueline Deluna was traveling in February 2020, and contacted JFK before her flight to request a wheelchair. However, upon arriving at the airport, she asked for her wheelchair and was told there were none, says a complaint filed Feb. 17 in New York County Supreme Court.
As a result, Deluna fell and was severely injured attempting to make her way to her flight, the suit says. She is accusing the airport of negligence that caused her to walk a significant distance with luggage despite her medical condition, and failing to inform her beforehand that the disability equipment she requested would not be available.
