I am surprised that student from West Africa was allowed to get on the plane. All airlines check Timatic which has up-to-date visa regulations for all countries. Common sense is to check for visa rules if you are citizen of some backwater country and need visa for pretty much anything.
- schoen 12y agoI think the deportation was actually by transit country A because of his lack of a transit visa for transit country B. Country A didn't initially require a transit visa, but perhaps the airline did discover a potential problem, whereabout country A migration officials seem to have said "oh, well, if you don't have a plan for how to get out of country A promptly, we're sending you back to your home country". His original itinerary involved six countries and four separate airlines across two bookings, so I don't think that's inconsistent with what you said.
