Jetstar forces wheelchair passenger to crawl across tarmac
Is incorrect, they didn't force anything.
"Our airline's policy for a passenger in a wheelchair being transported to and from a Jetstar aircraft, in the case of a self propelled chair, is that they are transferred from their own wheelchair into a specifically designed airline wheelchair at or near the boarding gate.
"This chair's design enables the best transfer of the passenger onto the aircraft and any manoeuvre within the aisle of the aircraft."
Normal chairs do not fit down the aisle.
