correiobraziliense.com.br (Portuguese)

A passenger with a disability may sue an airline after being forced to change her diaper in the airplane's kitchen, according to a legal expert. The incident involved a passenger with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) who was denied access to an accessible bathroom on a Latam flight and was instead told to use the floor. The airline allegedly did not know where the key to the accessible bathroom was. The passenger's lawyer says the airline's actions constitute a severe rights violation, potentially leading to a lawsuit for moral damages due to the public embarrassment and failure to provide assistance.
