More than 100 Jewish passengers who were barred from flight in 'racial profiling' incident get $21,000 each from Germany's Lufthansa airline

The Jewish-interest newspaper Hamodia was the first to report that more than 100 Orthodox Jewish passengers had reached a settlement with the airline.

The passenger said that each passenger would get $21,000 from the airline. He said that he had already received a check for $17,400 from the settlement.

The passengers were represented by the American Center for Law & Justice, which focuses on religious freedom.

A settlement had been reached with the vast majority of passengers. The airline didn't say anything else.

A group of Orthodox Jewish men were barred from taking a connecting flight from Germany to Hungary because they were going to go to the grave of a revered rabbi.

More than 100 Jewish passengers were denied boarding due to a few passengers not wearing masks.

Insider spoke to a passenger who described the incident as racial profiling. Yitzy said that he was guilty of being an Orthodox Jew.

Lufthansa initially defended the decision, citing mask-wearing regulations in Germany, but videos later emerged of an employee saying it was Jews who were the mess. The airline made an apology.

The airline apologized for the circumstances surrounding the decision to exclude the passengers from the flight.

The chief rabbi of Berlin was spoken to by the CEO of the airline. Rabbi Yehuda Teichtal was told that antisemitism has no place at the airline.

The Jewish Telegraphic Agency reported in August that an antisemitism officer was appointed by the German airline. The International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's definition of antisemitism was adopted by the airline.
