‘I felt so helpless’: Winnipeg woman forced to remove hijab on Flair Airlines flight

  • A Muslim woman was allegedly forced to remove her hijab in public at Toronto Pearson Airport on June 20 before boarding a Flair Airlines flight, according to Afsara Raidah, the woman's daughter.
  • Flair Airlines stated that the employee involved works for AGI, their ground handling partner, who has since been placed on leave.
  • Transport Canada rules indicate that religious head coverings like the hijab do not need to be removed if the person's face is fully visible.
  • The National Council of Canadian Muslims announced it is involved legally and criticized the incident, emphasizing that there is no room for Islamophobia in Canada's airports or airlines.
