Woman 'harassed' by male passenger mid-flight
PA
A woman has claimed she felt "trapped" by a seemingly inebriated man who 'harrassed' her during a domestic flight in Canada.
Alyson Beaudoin-Goodman, 19, was on Jazz, an Air Canada-affiliated airline, heading from Yellowknife to Calgary when the incident occurred.
She told CBC News: "He was like touching me and nudging me and I asked him to stop twice - he kept doing it."
"The only thing that upsets me is that there was no seats and if he was to get violent, where was I going to go - where would I go?"
Debra Williams, manager, corporate communications and industry affairs with Jazz Aviation, told CBC News: "Any situation that impacts the comfort, and/or safety, of our passengers and crew is not taken lightly and our crews are well-trained to handle challenging situations and do so on a daily basis," wrote
"If a passenger appears to be intoxicated, our customer service agents and in-flight crew will respond accordingly and as per standard operating procedures up to and including denied boarding and removal from a flight."
Beaumoin-Goodman said there should be an extra seat where a passenger could be moved to, and that staff should not have served the man alcohol as he appeared to be already drunk.
