Cumhuriyet reports that a passenger on a plane flying from Istanbul to Gaziantep was blacklisted by the airline for bringing on board and eating his food.
Mehmet Sur, a MasterChef participant, was flying in Turkish Airline Business Class. When food was served on board, he made a video capturing how he gets out of his bosom and eats Sheridan (a Turkish dish – a small ventricle of a sheep stuffed with rice and spices). He posted the video on social networks, so he fell out of favor with the airline.
Muhamed Sur was blacklisted by Turkish Airlines for six months on the basis that the passenger’s act damaged the brand’s reputation.
