Kuwait Airways Pays Damages to Israeli Barred from Heathrow Flight

(Jewish News-UK) Kuwait Airways has agreed to pay substantial damages plus costs to an Israeli national, Mandy Blumenthal, who was refused a ticket on a flight from London to Bangkok on the grounds of her nationality last November. Her encounter at the Kuwait Airways desk was filmed and the video is available on YouTube.
