In early May, a disabled passenger, was unable to board a
Jetstar Pacific flight because the airline did not have the equipment
necessary for boarding.
In April, two employees of Vietjet Air were fined for refusing
to allow a disabled passenger to board a flight from Danang to
Nguyen Thi Van, the passenger, said everything was fine when she
went from
The airline accepted responsibility but said she should have
told them 48 hours before departure of her special needs so boarding
equipment could have been arranged.
Vietnam Airlines said some 4,000 disabled passengers a month
require special equipment for boarding.
But the Airports Corporation of Vietnam (ACV) said only five of
21 airports have the appropriate equipment.
Airlines serving Tan Son Nhat and Danang airports rent equipment
from the airports.
Vo Huy Cuong, deputy director of the Civil Aviation Authority of
Vietnam, said the ACV had been asked to review the situation and create plan
to supply more equipment to airports.
