PEOPLE with a disability have enough to deal with rather than airlines making it more difficult for them to get around.

Australian airline Jetstar has been forced to a meeting with the Federal Government after a blind couple from Melbourne were refused a booking on the airline because of their guide dog.

”People with disability have the same right to travel by air as the rest of the population. They should not be treated like children or as an inconvenience,” said parliamentary director Bill Shorten.

It was the second incident in as many weeks where Jetstar has faced a complaint from people with a disability.

Imagine life being blind.

Surely, the airline can be more compassionate about the issue and compromise.

Guide dogs are like these peoples’ air.

They need them; they survive with them.

They guide them.

Jetstar will quickly lose more and more business if it continues to discriminate against people with a disability.

The complaints will continue to stack up until they change their laws and beliefs.
