Wicked Star Blasts Airline Over Disability Discrimination

has furiously accused the commuter airline Southern Airways of refusing to let her board because of her disability.

The 25-year-old has been reliant on a wheelchair since she was paralyzed by the injuries she sustained in a car accident at the age of 11.

She rose to fame in the two-part Wicked adaptation as Nessarose, the wheelchair-bound sister of the main character Elphaba played by .

In a new video, Bode said that when she spoke to the gate agents of her Southern Airways flight, she was informed that they would be unable to seat her because all passengers had to climb stairs in order to board.

Bode insisted that she had been subjected to 'blatant segregation' by the airline, fuming that 'it is always something when I'm flying.'

She added when she called her manager, who booked the flight, he claimed the airline had 'assured' him his client would receive the 'accommodation' she needed.

The Daily Mail has contacted Southern Airways and a representative for Bode for comment.

Under the terms of the Air Carrier Access Act (ACAA), airlines are banned from discriminating on the basis of disability, per the Department of Transportation.

Passed in 1986, the ACAA demands that airlines provide accommodations like 'prompt wheelchair or other guided assistance to board, deplane, or connect to another flight,' and that they must do so 'in a safe and dignified manner.'
