Mother and Daughter Scratched and Kicked Pilot After They Were Told They Could Not Bring Child's Stroller on Plane, Court ToldA mother and daughter's dispute with Swiss Air staff who would not allow their stroller to be stored in a plane's cabin spilled over into an attack on its pilot after landing, a court has heard.
Mary Roberts, 53, Henrietta Mitaiare, 23, and her three-year-old daughter were passengers on the flight from Zurich to London on May 2, 2019. Arlene De Silva, prosecuting, said that Mitaiare did not want the stroller to be stored in the hold because it was"too expensive" and argued with cabin crew before her mother stepped in to calm the situation ahead of take-off, the BBC reported.
A Swiss Air plane is pictured at Tegel Airport in Berlin, Germany in this illustrative image. A mother and daughter are on trial for attacking a pilot on one of the airline's planes flying to Heathrow.However, after landing at Heathrow airport, Mitaiare renewed the dispute and confronted cabin manager Ali Chkerdaa, asking for the name of staff involved so she could make a complaint about how she had been treated.
Then, according to Chkerdaa, the captain, Guido Keel, emerged from the cockpit to resolve the situation but Mitaiare told Keel not to get involved.
