Vueling: Jewish Teenagers Removed from Spain Flight – Explanations Sought

Paris has requested explanations from Vueling after approximately 50 French Jewish teenagers were removed from a flight in Spain. The youths were returning from a 15-day vacation.

The French Foreign Minister, Jean-Noël Barrot, contacted the CEO of Vueling, Carolina Martinoli, expressing his strong displeasure and demanding explanations for the incident. The French Foreign Ministry stated that explanations were also requested from the Spanish Ambassador to France.

The airline claims that the teenagers exhibited "highly confrontational behavior," endangering the flight. Club Kineret, which organized the camp, intends to file a lawsuit against Vueling for discrimination.

The CEO of Vueling assured that a thorough internal investigation is underway, and the findings will be forwarded to the French and Spanish authorities.
