New Delhi: Air India’s London bound flight from Delhi turned around a mere 15 minutes after taking off after a passenger hit a woman member of the crew, and pulled another’s hair. The passenger, identified as Jaskirat Singh, 25, from Punjab’s Kapurthala, was handed over to the security personnel upon landing, and later arrested.
In a statement, Air India said the passenger did not heed verbal and written warnings and continued to be unruly. “The pilot in command decided to return to Delhi and the passenger was handed over to the security personnel upon landing,” the airline’s statement said.
