Shameful & Disgusting: Emmy Kosgei’s Dad Mistreated by Leading Airline Company Just Because He’s Physically Disabled!

The last time I checked, physically impaired persons always receive preference when it comes to public service/ customer care. But it appears Fly540 doesn’t recognize any of that.

Recently, Bishop Jackson Kosgei of Worldwide Gospel Church of Kenya and father to songstress Emmy Kosgei was forced to crawl from a Fly540 plane after the airline’s staff declined to help him get down after a 40-minute standoff reports Nairobi News.

Allegedly, Emmy’s dad was ordered to alight on his own by Fly540 attendants when it landed at JKIA from Eldoret in spite of his disability. Nairobi News adds that he lodged a complaint about his ill-treatment to JKIA police and OB No 18/11/5/2014 states that the airline staff refused to allow anybody to support him as he disembarked.

“The officer who came to intervene made it worse as he casually told me that their company policy was never to carry people who cannot support themselves around,” Bishop Kosgei told the paper.

The airline’s CEO, Don Smith, allegedly said, “We do not carry people who cannot physically support themselves; our terms and conditions are very clear on this. We are not allowed to carry them, people who cannot physically walk.”
