Pakistani actress Nadia Jamil uploaded a video of her helpless and teary-eyed at the London Heathrow Airport. She struggled to gather any energy to get into a cab with her luggage after not being allowed to board a flight due to a problem with her documents.
Jamil was diagnosed with breast cancer/grade 3 tumor and has now recovered. However, it has left her weak and fragile. Jamil was traveling back to Pakistan to see her family and her kids after 2 years and had to undergo such harsh treatment by British Airways staff.
She said in her tweet: “Shocking @British_Airways. I came 2 the airport at 6.30 pm. 11 pm this is me. Drained, alone. I had informed the staff of my health. Why would they leave me like this? I kept speaking out 4 someone’s 2 help. Everyone ignored me after offloading me. At least help me a little. Bad show”

She said in the following tweet that she has never been so intimidated, humiliated, and helpless in her life. The British Airways staff left Jamil on terminal 5. She said:
“How did you expect me to wheelchair myself & 3 suitcases back 2 Cambridge from Heathrow?”
It takes a lot 2 drain positivity out of me. @British_Airways I v never been so intimidated, humiliated & helpless in my life. Your staff left me 2 sleep alone on terminal 5. How did you expect me 2 wheelchair my self & 3 suitcases back 2 cambridge from Heathrow? Kindness counts!

Jamil, unfortunately, had incorrect documents and had to be offloaded. She was left alone in a wheelchair with heavy luggage around. She tagged the airline in her tweet and said,
“Please have the decency to assist them with their luggage to their transport. I fainted in the cab!”

I fainted in the cab!— Nadia Jamil (@NJLahori) July 4, 2021
The airline’s official Twitter did respond to Nadia’s tweets, but their response was unsatisfactory.

If this had been Pakistan, every person in the airport would run to help a person in a wheelchair struggling to get to her transport. Some would go a step further and drop her somewhere safe.
