IRELAND: Irish airline Aer Lingus’ cabin crew offloaded a man from flight EI0330, Dublin to Berlin, after he ‘verbally abused’ Muslim passengers on Sunday. The airline’s Facebook page was filled with passengers speaking about the incident. “Before taking off, a passenger showed abusive behaviour against two other Muslim passengers,” wrote Khalid Wafiq Kamel. “The crew immediately reacted and stopped him, removing him from the flight.” Thanking the captain and the crew, Kamel said: “I would like to send a special thank you to Captain O’Shea and the rest of the crew for making my day. As a Muslim, I felt safe and respected being in Ireland and on Aer Lingus.” Kamel’s Facebook post was well receieved by the world, getting 15,000 likes and a lot of positive comments. “I have been in this beautiful country for 15 years,” said Syed Ahmed. “I have been treated fairly in this country regardless of colour, race or religion. For this, I have so much love and respect for the Irish people.” “Fantastic to read this, everyone should be treated equally and obnoxious people (whatever be their reason) should be shown their place. Kudos to Aer Lingus,” another comment said. Responding to Kamel’s post, Aer Lingus thanked him and apologised for the incident. “Thank you for your kind words Khalid. We’re so sorry to hear that this took place but we’re glad that the crew handled the situation well. We look forward to welcoming you on board in the near future.” This article originally appeared on Independent.ie
