Boy with Tourette's refused flight for bomb remark

Available for over a year

A 13-year-old boy from Essex who has Tourette syndrome was ejected by armed police from Gatwick Airport after he shouted the word ‘bomb’. Mason and his family from Harwich were refused entry by British Airways to a Spain-bound flight at the gate for what they said were safety risks. His father has described the experience as “horrendous”, while BA said it was "an extremely difficult, complex and distressing situation.” Tom Larsen-Wright has more. (Photo credit: Family picture)
