An Airline Will Pay AED 10,000 To Passenger Due To Faulty Seat

The Abu Dhabi Civil Family Court order…

Airline will pay AED 10,000 to a passenger injured after discovering loose seat mid-flight

The court ruled the faulty seat compromised the passenger’s safety and caused distress.

The backstory

Court papers say she got cuts and injuries during the flight, was treated at a clinic when she arrived and later got more medical care both abroad and in the UAE. 

The woman sued the airline for AED 50,000 for damages and 9% interest. She said the cabin crew ignored her complaints and didn’t offer a solution.
