2 airlines ask US not to put migrant children on flights
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAmerican Airlines and United Airlines say they have asked the Trump administration not to put migrant children who have been separated from their parents on their flights.
The CEOs of both airlines say that the administration’s recent immigration policy of separating migrant families conflicts with their values.
“We have no desire to be associated with separating families, or worse, to profit from it,” American Airlines CEO Doug Parker says in a statement.
United issues a statement in which CEO Oscar Munoz said the company’s purpose is to connect people. “This policy and its impact on thousands of children is in deep conflict with that mission and we want no part of it,” he says.
