French authorities are investigating whether a group of young French citizens, reported to be Jewish, were unfairly removed from a Vueling flight from Valencia to Paris. While Vueling denies religious discrimination, citing unruly behavior and tampering with safety equipment as the reason for removing 44 minors and 8 adults, French officials have contacted Vueling and the Spanish ambassador to determine if religious discrimination occurred. The incident sparked concern from French and Israeli officials, and the Federation for Jewish Communities of Spain requested documentary evidence from Vueling.
