Jetstar forced to apologise over cabin crew’s pregnancy question
Jetstar Airways has been forced to apologise to a New Zealand passenger who was offended by being asked if she was pregnant.
Grethe Andersen, who is not pregnant, complained after a flight attendant showed ‘no remorse’ after asking the ‘rude’ question as she boarded the flight on Sunday from Wellington to Auckland.
Jetstar told local media it contacted her on Tuesday to apologise and offered her £44 flight voucher, reports the BBC.
Ms Andersen, 24, claims the male flight attendant gestured at his stomach and asked her: "How many weeks are you?"
She said she did not get an apology at the time.
Ms Andersen said she felt "self-conscious", and added: "I used to be quite heavily overweight and even then was never met by such a rude question and especially no remorse from the flight attendant."
A Jetstar spokesman told news service NZME that it ‘sincerely apologises for the distress the passenger experienced’.
