It’s just come down the wire, multiple airlines (American, Frontier, and United) are refusing to fly immigrant children separated from their parents due to the federal government zero-tolerance policy for undocumented border crossings. All of these airlines have not yet transported children under this policy, but they said that the policy runs contrary to their goals of connecting people.
American issued a statement indicating that the separation policy is not aligned with the airline’s values. In the statement, “We have no desire to be associated with separating families, or worse, to profit from it….We have every expectation the government will comply with our request and we thank them for doing so.”
United CEO Oscar Munoz said, “This policy and its impact on thousands of children is in deep conflict with that mission and we want no part of it.”
In a tweet, Frontier stated its opposition to transporting immigrant children separated from their parents. “Frontier prides itself on being a family airline and we will not knowingly allow our flights to be used to transport migrant children away from their families. At this time, we are not aware if Frontier has been used for this purpose.”
The Association of Flight Attendants-CWA said in a statement, “We applaud the statements made by United and American. We expect this issue could continue to escalate and tensions rise when passengers or crew experience even the appearance onboard of children separated from their families. This can become safety and security issue, which makes it all the more important that airlines provide as much information as possible to crews in order to ensure a safe working environment for Flight Attendants and passengers.”
