Pakistani prevented from boarding US flight
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov 3: A Pakistani who works at a technology company in the Silicon Valley has filed a discrimination suit against United Airlines after the airline refused to let him board a flight at San Francisco International Airport on Sept 22.
In a lawsuit filed in San Francisco Superior Court, M. Ahsan Baig, a US resident from Pakistan, said he was singled out because of his race when a flight crew prevented him from boarding a Sept 22 flight to Philadelphia. The suit is the first of its kind in the nation. Mr Baig recently moved to California from Philadelphia where his wife and children live.
