Engineer appeals dismissed human rights case against Emirates Airline today

The Court of Appeal will today hear an appeal by Ghanaian businessman Djanie Kotey against Emirates Airline, seeking to overturn a March 2024 ruling that dismissed his claims of mistreatment and document falsification.

Kotey alleges that during a 2018 trip, Emirates detained him in Bangkok under poor conditions and forced him to purchase a new ticket, despite holding a valid return ticket.

His appeal highlights discrepancies in Emirates' documents, including incorrect ticket details and an inaccurate receipt, which Kotey argues misled the court.

The outcome of this case could have significant implications for airline accountability and passenger rights, setting a precedent for greater transparency and responsibility in the industry.
