A mother in New York says the airline JetBlue mistook her five-year-old for another boy and flew him to the wrong city. Maribel Martinez said she was shocked when staff members of JetBlue gave her another five-year-old at Kennedy Airport, New York.
Her lawyer, Sanford Rubenstein said the child presented to Ms Martinez was supposed to be in Boston. Instead, her son, Andy was sent there.
Both children, who were travelling unaccompanied took off from the Dominican Republic. Ms Martinez said her son was wearing a wristband with his name on it. But the other child was carrying Andy’s passport.
The child mistakenly flown to New York was returned safely to Boston after its took over 3 hours to for the airline to sort out the mix-up. JetBlue said they are reviewing how the mixup occurred.
