AN Asian family have claimed that they were thrown off a Delta Airlines flight because of racial discrimination.
Korean-American Justin Cho said this happened when his family were preparing to board Delta flight DL937 from Los Angeles to Cancun on June 30. He said they tried to board the flight during priority boarding and were told to wait.
In a Facebook post, Cho said his father had his boarding pass scanned first and waited for them before entering the air bridge.
"(The gate agent) Isabel told my dad 'you have to walk in, go inside' and my dad responded 'I am waiting for my family'. Isabel then told my dad very sternly, as if he were a child 'you can't wait here, go inside'," he wrote.
"My dad again told her 'I am going to wait for my family' by this point both my dad and Isabel were irritated with each other, then to my surprise Isabel snatched my dads passport and ticket out of his hand and shouted 'that's it, you're not getting on go back in line'.
"Imagine looking at your father and seeing him being treated like a child in front of a huge group of people. He literally did nothing wrong and just wanted to board the plane together with his family for our vacation."
The whole family then got into an altercation with the agents at the gate, who then decided the family wouldn't be flying. Airport police were called.
Cho said Delta had been soliciting volunteers during the check-in process in case the flight wound up oversold. He claimed Asians were targetted.
"I feel discriminated against," he said.
