A couple was made to leave a United Airlines, the reason being their two-year-old daughter denied wearing a face mask. The woman turned towards social media to express her distress.
Eliz Orban, the mother of the two-year-old, shared a video on Instagram on Friday where she was sobbing while she was at the airport alongside her husband and daughter, Edeline, after getting off the plane.
“We just got kicked off a flight because our two-year-old would not put on a mask,” Orban said, adding to the fact that they were demanded to deboard the plane owing to their daughter refusing to wear a mask. The family was travelling from Colorado to Newark, New Jersey.
In the video clip, the flight crew can be seen taking the family out of the plane even as the parents attempt to put a mask on their daughter’s face. But the toddler is reluctant on putting the mask on, and eventually, a crew member approaches the family, asking them to leave the flight.
Although the mother Eliz Orban said that they were banned from flying in United Airlines in future, the airline has explained that the family has not been banned from flying with United Airlines in future.
“Hello, sir. I’m going to have to ask you to grab your belongings and exit the aircraft,” the flight representative can be heard as saying clearly, to which the father replied: “You gotta be kidding me. Why? We’re over here holding this mask on her face.”
Nevertheless, the flight representative persuades them to leave the plane even though the couple tried to clarify that they couldn’t force their daughter to put on the face mask as she was ‘crying’. The family is then escorted out of the plane with their belongings.
