Son stopped from boarding flight with 91-yr-old mom

Mumbai: In yet another case of 'airline bullying', a Jet Airways passenger was not only not allowed to board, but officials let his 91-year-old mother on the flight, unattended.
On April 9, Manjar Badruddin Mistar (51), a businessman, was accompanying his mother Gulshan Morani to board a Rajkot-bound flight (9W 2007). "After the security checks, since my mother was in a shorter queue, she boarded the cab waiting for passengers.
I was in a longer queue, so I requested the airline people to let me accompany my mother, as she is wheelchair-bound. The staff asked me to keep quiet, and wait for my turn.
I was taken aback when one of the staffers told me that boardings were over. I pleaded with them, but they didn't let me board," said Badruddin.
"My mother had to wait at the Rajkot airport for three hours, I called my relatives and asked them to take her home.
