Once, the police even ransacked his house for the same reason.
A man was banned from flying British airline EasyJet for ten years because of his name.
About it writes ladbible.com.
Kieran Harris, 21, was unaware of the travel ban placed on his name until it was time to book a holiday in Alicante, Spain.
When the graduate realized that he was forbidden to fly with the airline, he came to the conclusion that there had been a mistake in identification and he was confused with a criminal. By the way, the coincidence was not only in the name, but also in the date of birth.
It wasn’t until the day before his trip from Liverpool that he received word of his ban, despite having booked a month in advance.
He was told that due to “previous disruptive behavior” he was banned from flying until March 15, 2031.
The man bearing his name was sentenced to 12 weeks in prison in 2021 for abusive behavior while drunk on an airline flight.
Speaking of the confusion, the innocent Kieran said: “I was shocked. I couldn’t fully understand it. family, the police showed up trying to interrogate me. It was serious enough, but after five or ten minutes they realized that it was not me. The news is published with a photo of this person and it is clear that it is not me. They accuse me of something, whereas if they saw me in person, anyone could see that it’s not me, it’s just a little sad. I’m thinking of changing the name if this continues.”
As a result, the company lifted the ban after seeing a photo of his passport.
“We are very sorry that Mr Harris was mistakenly informed that he could not fly with us. We made this decision in good faith as he has the same name and date of birth and was flying from the same region of the UK as the passenger we previously denied boarding for a serious offense. As soon as Harris contacted us, we resolved this issue, “- said the representative of the airline.
However, Harris claims that the situation was very tense and he is not going to use the services of this airline: “It reduced the likelihood that I would want to fly with them in the future.”
The police also sent a letter to the man, apologizing for the confusion.
