France's Transport Minister, Dominique Bussereau, has called for an inquiry into allegations that low-cost airline Easyjet barred disabled passengers from flying unaccompanied.
He ordered the move after reports that Easyjet had refused to fly disabled passengers on safety grounds.
They were told they must be accompanied by another passenger in order to board the plane.
Easyjet said they were simply complying with safety regulations.
"European safety regulations require that all passengers are able to evacuate an aircraft within 90 seconds and therefore we require that some passengers with reduced mobility have a travel companion," a spokesman for the company said.
