Review how airlines protect passengers with severe food allergies

Background

Review if airlines provide clear, consistent safeguards for passengers with serious food allergies, including reasonable risk-mitigation measures, clear procedures following advance notification, and protection from unnecessary denial of boarding or removal from flights.

Additional details

People with food allergies can face risks when flying, yet we feel airline procedures can be inconsistent. Passengers may notify airlines in advance, carry emergency medication and request precautions, but decisions can vary between airlines or crews. We believe clear UK-wide standards are needed so airlines can assess and mitigate allergy risks, and passengers are not denied boarding or removed when proportionate safety measures could be used. The rules should protect passengers from discrimination.
