"Air Canada Faces Backlash for Endangering Disabled Passenger's Life by Disconnecting Ventilator"
Air Canada is facing backlash after a disabled woman's ventilator was disconnected on a flight, and other incidents of mistreatment of disabled passengers have come to light. The airline's CEO was paid $9 million USD in 2022. The incidents include a wheelchair user being forced to drag himself off a flight, a sick passenger who died after the airline refused to divert the plane, a disabled man injured when staff dropped him on the floor, and numerous complaints of poor customer service. Air Canada has admitted to violating Canadian disability regulations and has pledged to improve its treatment of disabled flyers.
