A mother and her six children were expelled from a Jetblue Airways flight on Wednesday after one of their two-year-old daughters refused to wear a mask.
It was extremely traumatic for me and my family”Said 39-year-old mother Chaya Bruck in an interview with the American channel ABC.
Bruck says he tried to put the mask on his youngest daughter’s face, but it was an unproductive task, since the child removed it in every attempt.
Should I hold your hands? What should I do? ”Asked the mother, according to a video of the incident. “We will have to ask for the landing”, Replied the flight attendant, underlining the zero tolerance policy regarding the use of the mask.
According to the images shared on YouTube, passengers on the flight from New York to Orlando were in favor of their mother.
According to a JetBlue spokesman, the policy regarding safety methods to combat the covid-19 pandemic was updated on August 10 to ensure “widespread use of the mask – both in children and adults”.
The policy meets the recommendations of the Center for Disease Prevention, which says that children older than two years should wear a protective mask.
After the incident, the company issued a statement to underline that, during these unprecedented times, “passengers receive in their email all safety protocols, including policies related to the wearing of the mask.
Passengers who refuse to comply with these standards may not fly with the company again.
