Craig Nolan says he was kicked off a Qatar Airways flight and left stranded at a Melbourne airport on 5 December.
The incident occurred 5 December when Mr Nolan — who was born in Geelong in regional Victoria — was returning home via Doha, Qatar, to Helsinki, Finland, where he now lives with his partner. "Forcing me off the plane has prevented me from accessing medical supplies that are waiting for me in Finland," he said.
Mr Nolan has travelled extensively both as an international table tennis player and through setting up his life in Finland. He said he has flown countless times on his own, but this was the first time he has been prevented from flying due to his disability. Customers with special needs may also be asked to fill in a "Medical Information Form" to be submitted no less than 48 hours prior to departure.
