BA Breaks Quadriplegic Girl’s Wheelchair, Tells Her Father to Pay for Help

Flyer Christian McGill has criticized British Airways after airport handlers broke his 14-year-old daughter Bethany’s £5000 wheelchair, forcing him to drag her through Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) along with four suitcases. McGill claims that he was told by British Airways representatives that he would have to pay extra for a porter to assist him in transporting his daughter, who has cerebral palsy, through the airport.

“Bethany was absolutely mortified, her wheelchair is her only way of getting around, it’s her whole independence … It’s like they took her legs away. It’s just wrong on all levels,” said McGill.
