MELBOURNE - AUSTRALIA'S Jetstar airline has made a public appology after one of their flight attendants used a boarding pass to track down a 15-year-old girl.
According to media reports, the man in question, attempted to befriend the girl on Facebook just hours after the flight landed in Melbourne.
Jetstar spokesman Simon Westaway told news.com.au that the airline was conducting an investigation into the incident and management had been in touch with the Melbourne-based flight attendant, who is on a rostered day off.
The mother of the 15-year-old and her 16-year-old sister, known only as Elizabeth, said the girls did not give their names to the man but the younger girl received a friendship request, followed by messages asking why she hadn't added him as a Facebook friend. They have since blocked the man.
Elizabeth said she was worried that the man may have made other such requests and impressionable young girls had accepted them. "I don't know where he's going with this. If the girls had added him, would he then say, 'Let's meet?'," she said.
Mr Westaway told news.com.au that Jetstar staff are encouraged to have a warm approach to customers and engage with them. He said its policy on social networking sites stated that employees must portray the company in a positive light.
