A woman and her teenage daughter say Delta Air Lines staff served a boorish passenger drink after drink, then did nothing when he manhandled and sexually assaulted them on a long flight from JFK Airport to Greece, according to a federal lawsuit.
The pilot and flight attendants didn’t even call police to have the man arrested after the eight hour and 40 minute ordeal, and offered the traumatized mom an insulting 5,000 “SkyMiles” as an apology, the lawsuit alleges.
The mother and her 16-year-old daughter, New York state residents identified in court papers as A.A. and N.A., filed a $2 million negligence and civil rights lawsuit against Delta in Brooklyn Federal Court on Tuesday.
“As a parent, protecting your child is always priority No. 1,” their lawyer, Evan Brustein, told the Daily News. “What happened to my clients during a flight was not just a nightmare, it was completely preventable.”
