Blacklisted passenger loses rights case

A man suing his former airline employer for being denied travel on its planes lost his case yesterday at Chaoyang district court.

Fan Youjun, 37, told the court the ruling was unfair and he would appeal to the Beijing No 2 Intermediate Court.

Fan joined Xiamen Airlines as an aviation safety officer in 1993. In July 2003 he failed a qualification exam and was then fired from his position on Sept 1, 2004, the court's press release said.
