Firstly, just because he claims he traveled alone "many times" doesn't mean he actually did. Not only that but even if he has, that doesn't make it right and this time he has not been able to.
Secondly, had there been an incident and everyone got out of the plane, bar this gentleman, then how would that have looked for EZY? You can be certain that the family would have taken legal action and the media would have questioned why he was allowed to travel on his own.
They made the right call.
