Posted by WMATAGMOAGH on Fri Jun 24 04:00:09 2011, in response to Delta Airlines: U.S. Jews Banned To Fly on Delta Flights to Saudi Arabia, posted by Dave on Thu Jun 23 20:02:26 2011. Delta is now saying that this was a internet rumor, and that Delta does not discriminate yet has to uphold all visa regulations set by the governments of the countries it serves. In other words, no one without a valid Saudi Arabian visa can get on a plane to Saudi Arabia. This makes perfect sense, since airlines are required to take passengers who do not have valid visas back to where they came from on the first flight, even if it means bumping other passengers to do so. When I flew USAirways to Brazil, I had an email within hours of booking my ticket reminding me I'd be denied boarding without the proper visa, and they had a visa check at the gate podium and no one was allowed on board if their boarding pass didn't have a stamp indicating they had shown the appropriate documents to gate personnel.More at http://content.usatoday.com/communities/Religion/post/2011/06/delta-airlines-no-jews-saudi-arabia/1?csp=hf |
