Air Canada Ordered To Provide Nut-Free Zone

Posted by samzenpus on from the no-nuts dept.

JamJam writes "Air Canada has been told to create a special 'buffer zone' on flights for people who are allergic to nuts. The Canadian Transportation Agency has ruled that passengers who have nut allergies should be considered disabled and accommodated by the airline. Air Canada has a month to come up with an appropriate section of seats where passengers with nut allergies would be seated. The ruling involved a complaint from Sophia Huyer, who has a severe nut allergy and travels frequently. Ms. Huyer once spent 40 minutes in the washroom during a flight while snacks were being served."

    Let's just not revive anyone at the ER then, just like nature intended. Fall off a bike? Oh, should have been more careful. Heart attack? Well, nature didn't intend for us to make this defibrillator, so you can die too.
