Oslo: Norway's anti-discrimination tribunal found Air France's policy against seating men next to unaccompanied children to prevent any possibility of predatory behaviour to be discriminatory, a passenger said Tuesday.
The cabin crew of an Oslo to Paris flight in October 2022 asked a man to swap seats with a woman before takeoff, saying he could not be seated next to two children travelling alone.
The man, Dominique Sellier, filed a complaint with the Norway's anti-discrimination tribunal Diskimineringsnemnda.
In proceedings, a lawyer for Air France argued that the crew was merely following company policy.
"It was not a very nice situation," Sellier told AFP on Tuesday.
