Man Deemed Too Fat to Fly so French family stranded in US
As per one report:
A French family has been stranded in Chicago for about a week after British Airways deemed a man too fat to fly. Kevin Chenais, 22, a resident of France, reportedly tips the scales at more than 500 pounds, and that's too much for British Airways to handle.
A British Airways spokesperson confirmed the airline was unable to let Chenais on a flight from Chicago to France because of safety issues. “Our customer service team worked diligently to find a solution and have exhausted all options,” the airline said in a statement. “Unfortunately it is not possible to safely accommodate the customer on any of our aircraft and the family has been offered a full refund.”
Chenais traveled to the United States about a year and a half ago for treatment of a hormone disorder at the Mayo Clinic. He put on weight during his stay in the U.S. Source.
