After the video went viral, American Airlines also came to the scene with a response.

“We will ensure that such mobility devices are handled properly. We recognize how important it is to ensure the freedom and safety of passengers with disabilities.

A complaint was raised earlier this year that a passenger suffering from cancer was kicked off an American Airlines flight after seeking help from the staff. The complaint was filed by a passenger named Meenakshi Sengupta. The staff dropped them off the flight to New York on January 30. The complainant had sought the assistance of the staff to place her handbag in the cabin above the seat as she had difficulty lifting the weight after the surgery. But Meenakshi Sengupta says in her complaint that they did not want to help and treated her rudely.
