The Australian couple spoke about the “traumatic” moment that the body of a dead passenger was placed next to them on the flight Katari Airways.
Mitchell Ring and Jennifer Colin, who traveled to the Dream Vacation Venice, said for the Australian Channel 9 of the Women died in the passage next to them during the flight from Melbourne to Dohe.
The couple say that the casino crew put the corpse, covered with blankets, next to Mr. Rings for the remaining four hours of flight, without wanting to move him into him, despite being empty.
Qatar Airways said to apologize for “any inconvenience or distress, this incident may have caused”, adding that it is in the process of contacting passengers.
The couple said that they did not contact them or offer support for Qatar Airways or Qantas, the airline through which the flight reserved.
They said that there should be a protocol that would ensure that the passengers on the ship were careful in such situations.
Mr. Ring told the channel nine Current Affair Program It was a staff answered “at no time” when the woman crashed, but that “unfortunately, the lady could not be saved, which was quite distinguished to watch.”
He said that the cabin crew tried to move the body towards the business class, “but was a pretty big lady and couldn’t get her out through the passage.”
Mr. Ring said the crew saw the places available next to him.
“They said,” Can you move over the weir? “And I just said,” Yes, no problem. “
“Then they put a lady in a chair where I was.”
While Mrs. Colin is able to move to the empty headquarters nearby, Mr. Ring said that he was not given the opportunity to do so in the crew cabin – although there were free seats.
When the plane landed four hours later, he said the passengers were asked to stay until the medical staff and the police came to the ship.
He said the emergency officers began withdrawing blankets from the woman and he saw her face.
The couple said that it is necessary to be a “duty to worry” for customers and staff.
“We should contact us to make sure, do you need support, do you need any consultation?”
Ms. Colin called the experience “Traumatically” and said, “Fully understand that we cannot keep the airline responsible for the poor lady death, but there must be a protocol that could take care of the customers on board.”
In the statement, Qatar Airways said: “First and most important thoughts are with the family of passengers who have unfortunately obvenuced on our flight.
“We apologize for any inconvenience or trouble, this incident may have been created in the process of contacting passengers in accordance with our policies and procedures.”
Qantas spokeswoman said, “The process of handling incidents on the board of airplanes like this manages the operational airline, which is in this case Qatar’s respiratory roads.”
Barry Eustance, a former Virgin Atlantic Captain, said the death in the air “appear more often than people would think,” but they said as far as aware that there were a certain protocol for such situations.
“On the flight of a long wool, it tends to be largely dependent where it appears and what the crew has in terms of facilities that the body does not place Sundays somewhere, there is a space to hold the crew, but it is for the crew so it can be problematic.”
The toilet space or area of Galiel can be blocked, he said, but the crew is needed to make a certain number available for toilets.
Mr. Eastance said that, until he was crucial because he did not know the full situation, he was surprised that the crew did not move Mr. Ring if there was vacancies.
“I expect the crew to do whatever they can avoid this. You create potential future liabilities in terms of trauma people set up,” he said.
“In my experience, the crew would usually try to insulate the body, so there is no exposure to passengers and vice versa, respect and privacy, but also for medical reasons. You have a dead body and all that goes.”
