Aeroflot ‘deports’ American passengers to India
Aeroflot had a group of stranded passengers deported to India, even though they were US citizens according to a report. The events occurred in January but became public now after a US DoT complaint was filed against the airline. The passengers were attempting to fly from New Delhi to New York. Their itinerary included a stopover in Moscow, which is where they became stranded when their connecting flight to New York was cancelled due to snow. According to the complaint, Aeroflot staff told the 4 Americans — who are of South Asian descent — there were no seats available on any other flights to New York. They also claim that they were denied transit visas, which made their prolonged stay in Moscow illegal. Aeroflot said: “We clearly fell short of our customary high standards of service in this incident". <br/>
