Former Spirit Airlines CEO Ben Baldanza provides insight into how the pandemic has impacted the industry on ‘CAVUTO Live.’
Spirit Airlines denied service to an Arkansas family after their 4-year-old child, who is non-verbal and has autism, was unable to wear a face mask.
The child had a medical note stating that was exempt from wearing masks, his mother, Callie Kimball, told CBS Little Rock affiliate KTVH-TV of her son, Carter. Callie said she told the airline that Carter would also harm himself if forced to wear a face mask, reportedly because he holds his breath, the report suggests.
