An international
governing body for airlines says a policy of not seating unaccompanied
children next to male passengers is common practice, yet a Qantas passenger
asked to move from his allocated seat next to a child travelling alone says
he was dumbfounded at the policy. Green MP Keith Locke is
outraged and says he will take a case of discrimination to the Human Rights
Commission. But an International
Air Transport Authority (IATA) spokesman says the policy is in fact used by
many airlines around the World. Qantas says in a
statement the policy reflects parents' concerns, and the need to maximise
child safety.
