Airline To Introduce Child Free Zone On Flight: Sparks Debate

Oct 23 2023

Corendon Dutch Airlines has sparked widespread debate by introducing “child-free” zones on its flights, offering passengers the option to avoid sitting near infants or youngsters.

Starting November 3rd, the airline will designate the front section of the Airbus A350-900, comprising 102 seats and nine extra legroom seats, as an “Only Adult zone” on flights from Amsterdam to Curacao.

For a fee, travelers can secure a seat away from teenagers aged 16 and below. The child-free area is priced at €45 ($47.67) for a standard seat and €100 ($105.94) for extra legroom.

Atilay Uslu, the founder of Corendon, emphasized the airline’s commitment to meeting diverse customer needs, stating that the initiative aims to provide travelers with added tranquility during their journey.

This move has also been framed as potentially beneficial for parents, allowing them to enjoy their flights without concerns about their children causing disruptions.

However, the policy has ignited a passionate online discussion. Some argue it signals a concerning shift, highlighting society’s diminishing tolerance for children in public spaces. Others, though, welcome the move, citing their own experiences with disruptive children during flights.

They assert that such zones provide a valuable option for travelers seeking a more peaceful journey. The announcement has ultimately revealed a significant divide in public opinion regarding this divisive policy.

PN Calls For Protest Next Sunday After Court Ruling

Oct 23 2023

The Nationalist Party has called for a protest in front of Castille this Sunday 29th October at 1600hrs following the court ruling in regards to the Vitals-Steward Hospital case.

With an official slogan reading: ‘Now Bring Back €400 Million’, PN leader Bernard Grech called on the public to join the party in front of Castille after the courts rejected an appeal by Steward against a decision against them last February.

Grech said it is not enough to post on Facebook and to say that it is useless voting due to all parties being the same. ‘The Labour Party in government worked against the people. The Nationalist Party, under Delia and afterwards, worked in favour of the people.’

‘Now we need to bring back the €400 million’ concluded Grech, reiterating the call for the protest.
