flight attendant lawsuit

Virginia, United States: A North Carolina mother has filed a $5 million lawsuit against Qatar Airways, alleging that the airline’s negligence caused her 3-year-old daughter to suffer a life-threatening allergic reaction during a transcontinental flight earlier this year. According to court filings the incident occurred on April 9 aboard Qatar Airways Flight QR710 from Washington Dulles International Airport to Doha, Qatar. The child and her mother, Swetha Neerukonda, were en route to India when the episode unfolded mid-air. Neerukonda, who stated that her daughter has severe allergies to both dairy and nuts, informed the airline crew about the medical condition multiple times prior to and during boarding. Despite these warnings, the lawsuit alleges that a flight attendant handed the child a Kit Kat bar, a chocolate snack containing both allergens, while Neerukonda was briefly away in the lavatory. When she returned and realized what had happened, Neerukonda claims she confronted the crew but was “mocked and dismissed” instead of receiving assistance. Within minutes, her daughter began experiencing symptoms of severe anaphylaxis, including difficulty breathing and facial swelling. Neerukonda administered an EpiPen on board as the crew reportedly failed to respond adequately to the emergency. Upon arrival in India, the child was hospitalized in intensive care and remained under medical supervision for two days. Doctors later confirmed she had suffered a “biphasic reaction,” a secondary wave of anaphylaxis that can occur hours after the initial episode. The federal lawsuit, filed on October 31 in the Eastern District of Virginia, seeks $5 million in damages for negligence, emotional distress, and violation of basic duty of care. Neerukonda’s legal team argues that Qatar Airways failed to provide reasonable accommodation for a known medical condition and did not follow proper emergency medical protocols during the incident. “Airlines have an obligation to ensure the safety of passengers with food allergies, particularly when they have been clearly notified in advance,” the complaint states, adding that the flight attendant’s alleged mockery compounded the distress of an already critical medical situation. Qatar Airways has not yet issued an official statement regarding the allegations.

Mother Sues Qatar Airways For $5M Over Alleged Negligence In Child’s Allergy Case

Denver, United States: United Airlines is facing a major federal lawsuit filed by a former flight attendant who accuses the carrier of failing to protect her from years of harassment and exploitation after one of its pilots allegedly distributed her private, intimate images online. The complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado on October 28, alleges that United neglected to act despite being alerted that a company pilot had engaged in criminal behavior involving the non-consensual sharing of explicit photos and videos of his ex-girlfriend, a United flight attendant. According to court filings, the plaintiff identified as Lisa Denson began working for United in 2015 and met Andrew Hill, a first officer at the airline, the following year. The lawsuit claims Hill coerced her into sending explicit photos and videos during their relationship and secretly recorded her on multiple occasions, including in uniform and during layovers. After their breakup, Hill allegedly uploaded those images to pornographic websites and shared them across social media platforms without her consent. Hill later pleaded guilty in 2024 to multiple felony counts, including distribution of intimate images, stalking, and online impersonation. Despite an active police investigation and a search warrant served to United in April 2024, the airline did not suspend or terminate Hill until his arrest three months later, the complaint alleges. “The company’s inaction enabled continued harm to Ms. Denson, despite clear evidence of ongoing criminal conduct by a uniformed employee,” the lawsuit states. Denson’s attorneys argue that United failed to implement or enforce adequate safeguards and training programs to prevent sexual harassment and digital misconduct among its workforce. The lawsuit seeks compensatory and punitive damages, as well as a court order requiring the airline to overhaul its harassment prevention policies. United Airlines has not yet filed a formal response to the new complaint. The lawsuit, filed under case number 1:25-cv-03403, could have far-reaching implications for airline liability in cases involving off-duty misconduct by flight crew members.
