Airline claimed that a court decision, which determined the transport of the animal in the aircraft cabin, violated flight operations manual
The Rio de Janeiro Court is preparing for a major audience that will take place next week. The focus of the discussion will be the a theme that has generated great expectation and concern. The animal in question, called TED, plays a vital role in the life of Alice, an autistic girl who is already in Portugal, eagerly awaiting the arrival of her faithful companion. Alice, who does not communicate verbally, depends on Ted for support and emotional support, making the presence of the dog essential to his well-being.
So far, Alice’s family has faced several obstacles to ensure the boarding of TED. Among the difficulties, we highlight the cancellation of a flight by the TAP airline, even after the submission of a court order authorizing the dog’s boarding in the cabin. The situation has generated frustration and anxiety, both for Alice and their families, who expect a definitive solution.
The TAP airline said it is in contact with Alice’s family in an attempt to find a solution that respects the company’s safety standards. The expectation is that the court hearing will result in a positive resolution, allowing TED to finally meet with Alice in Portugal. Meanwhile, the family and the girl look forward to a decision that can finally allow the dog’s boarding, bringing relief and happiness to everyone involved.
