A pregnant Ghanaian woman has reportedly been mistreated and mishandled by Emirates Airlines staff who then kicked her off a flight.
Ghanaian man Edward Opoku, who helplessly watched his wife go through the indignity of being kicked off a flight, narrated his ordeal via Twitter.
According to him, the incident occurred Saturday, February 26th 2022. Opoku narrated how they were travelling from Mauritius to Ghana through Dubai when the incident happened.
According to him, his 4-month old pregnant wife suffered morning sickness on the plane, at which point things started going sideways.
After she vomited, staff checked her and found her to be fine, but later said they would not move the plane with her onboard.
She was then unceremoniously kicked off the flight, which Opoku says embarrassed his wife and put the life of their unborn at risk.

@emirates we are going to have a chat in the morning about why your staff on EK704 from MRU to DUB decided to kick my PREGNANT wife from the flight because she asked for an extra belt.

She was flying home within your 29 week policy. She followed all protocols. She vomited on the plane, but was checked & found to be healthy. So why did staff tell her that “they” had taken a decision that the plane would not leave with her on board?@EmiratesSupport

Why was she told she needed a medical note (she doesn’t) & then refused to speak to her OB?
Why was she led to baggage claim & left to carry her bags off the carousel and outside in her current state?!?!?
Your MUR office will need to have these answers. @EmiratesSupport
