The problem of unruly flyers is faced by almost all airlines across the globe. A lot of companies have started taking appropriate measures like curbing the sale of liquor to dial down indecent and inappropriate incidents which ruin the in-flight experience for all passengers.
One such incident recently happened in an Indigo airline, which was flying towards Delhi.
A passenger on an IndiGo Bhubaneswar-Delhi flight allegedly stripped in the lavatory of the aircraft and asked a female flight attendant to help him.
“The crew immediately went to the lavatory to help him but saw him in an objectionable state. The female crew member refused to go inside and politely requested him to maintain some level of decency while using the lavatory,” said an attendant.
During the course of the flight, the male passenger in question expressed to the crew that he does not know how to tie the seat belt. The crew assisted him on the same.
Once rescued, the gentleman still didn’t seem to be in the right state of mind.
“The passenger passed derogatory remarks to the female crew member,” said the crew.
The crew informed the captain of flight 6E-256, who then alerted the security on Delhi airport. Soon after landing, the passenger was offloaded and handed over to the police. An FIR has been filed with a local police station.
“Customer satisfaction is core to our business, however any untoward conduct, which compromises on the security of our crew and passengers is of a serious concern to us, and as a responsible corporate citizen we will take all necessary action to address this violation,” the IndiGo statement said.
Well, let’s hope that airlines come up with a good solution to keep such passengers in check. Let’s hope a little more that pathetic and disgusting passengers like this one start behaving in a decent way.
