“Our trip was spoiled due to ignorance. I demanded compensation for all four of us.”
A family left 'stranded' in Edinburgh Airport have demanded £11,000 in compensation after a passport issue led them to miss their flight to India. Gunasekaran Kumar, 37, travelled with wife Anita Gunasekaran and daughters Yazhini, 6, and Rithanaya, 2, to Chennai to see Anita’s sick father ahead of surgery. He claims he has been left in credit card debt after buying another set of flight tickets after the incident on March 29.
Mr Kumar says he spoke to immigration officials in India himself and was eventually told Mrs Gunasekaran would be cleared to travel as long as she applied for a new passport on her return to the UK. But Mr Kumar says Qatar Airways staff continued to refuse to check the family onto the flight, including after Mr Kumar suggested just checking himself and his two young daughters in. Mr Kumar said: “We were roaming around without any help and no idea what to do next.
