So Emmy Koskeis dad has to crawl from a plane because there was no disabled facilities? Shame on Fly540. They shouldnt be booking on disabled people before explaining what they can and cant do. Emmy Kosgeis dad, Bishop Jackson Kosgei of Worldwide Gospel Church of Kenya claims that he was forced to crawl from the plane of local airline Fly540. This was after attendants claimed that “they do not carry people who cannot physically support themselves.” The plane operators says: “We commend and support Bishop Jackson Kosgei and his tireless work to raise awareness of the difficulties faced by less-abled people. Fly540 Kenya is proud of its track record and the contribution it makes to help wherever possible.

We also take the matter of health and safety of all our passengers very seriously and, like all airlines, insure all our passengers against injury. What we can and cannot do are dictated by terms and conditions of insuring our passengers. Due to the type of our planes, we cannot provide cover for immobile or lift-on/off passengers. The aircrafts in use are not fitted with the special equipment needed for these situations and, as a result, our insurance does not provide cover against any issues that might arise through our employees physically carrying a passenger. We are however able to assist wheelchair passengers who can be escorted up to the aircraft door, as long as they are able to climb the stairs – and provided we are informed at the time of booking. We make this clear to everyone and it is in at least three different places on our website
