HALIFAX — An Edmonton woman says she was publicly humiliated and booted off an Air Canada flight after a rash was mistakenly labelled as contagious. I never know that this thing could happen to me.”Lehman said she was escorted to Halifax’s QEII hospital by Air Canada staff to get a doctor’s diagnosis. Lehman said Air Canada would have treated her differently had she been white, and added that the airline should have been more accommodating by offering services in French. Air Canada responded to a request for comment via email. Regrettably, the situation resulted in inconvenience for some customers.”Lehman said one Air Canada employee informally apologized to her, but the airline has not formally apologized.
