A Muslim family is suing Delta Air Lines over their ‘unjust’ removal from a flight from Atlanta to Baltimore
A Muslim family is suing Delta Air Lines over their ‘unjust’ removal from a flight from Atlanta to Baltimore
Two Muslim boys’ father has filed a lawsuit in Maryland against Delta Air Lines and its CEO Ed Bastian, alleging that it was “malicious” and “callous” to remove his sons from a Delta flight in 2019.

Hisham Kassab asserts that other passengers as well as flight attendants and gate agents made untrue accusations against him and his sons, who were only 7 and 11 years old when they were removed from the Delta Air flight. According to court documents submitted to the District Court of Maryland, Hisham and his sons Ibrahim and Karim were returning from a trip to Rome, Italy, and were boarding a flight in Atlanta that would take them to Baltimore.
They were permitted to board the aircraft, but soon after a second airline employee ordered them to disembark without providing a reason. They exited the plane, the door shutting quickly, and the plane pushed away from the gate without them.

According to the lawsuit, the gate agent, flight attendant, and other passengers all claimed that Hashim used profanity in his conversation with the gate agent, that’s why the Captain decided to have them removed from the flight. With court documents stating that the Atlanta-based carrier intends to defend itself against the claims, lawyers acting on behalf of Delta moved quickly to have the lawsuit, which was only filed on Wednesday, removed.
Lawyers say that the lawsuit may be barred by the Montreal Convention, one of several defences that the airline intends to use. The airline is also demanding strict proof of Hisham’s claims, and Hisham’s lawyers claim he has yet to state a claim that would allow him to claim compensation.

Qantas says cost to fly may rise, Due to Soaring Jet Fuel Prices
Qantas has been absorbing a $200 million increase in fuel costs, the airline warned that if prices continue to rise, the costs may be passed on to customers and it may raise its already high ticket rates.
The airline reported in a market update that fuel costs have gone up 30% since May of this year, including 10% just in the past month. “This is driven by a combination of higher oil prices, higher refiner margins, and a lower Australian dollar,” Qantas stated.

But Qantas asserted that it will keep an eye on fuel costs in the upcoming months and “look to adjust its settings” if they continue to be this high. Any modifications would aim to strike a balance between the need for reasonably priced travel in a situation where tickets are already high, according to Qantas.
Qantas and competing airlines use methods of hedging to control erratic pricing changes. An effort to win back consumer support that included an apology from the airline’s new CEO, Vanessa Hudson, and a commitment to rebuild the airline’s reputation after a “humbling period” is in jeopardy as a result of the warning about ticket prices.
Analyst Owen Birrell with RBC Capital Markets predicted that the firm will likely accept the higher fuel costs “until its target margins come under pressure, and then would seek to claw back those costs through capacity cuts and higher fares.”
Given the increased competition, expanding consumer and corporate cost pressures, and incoming reinvestment in the product/platform, we don’t think a substantial earnings shift is possible going forward.
