BENGALURU: AirAsia India has suspended its station manager at Kempegowda International Airport (KIA), Bengaluru, for a month following Thursday’s incident in which a Hyderabad-bound flight took off before Karnataka governor Thaawar Chand Gehlot could board the aircraft.
Raj Bhavan maintained that the governor arrived on time, but lapses on the part of the airline’s ground staff resulted in the governor missing the flight. Two more airline staffers are also likely to be suspended before AirAsia officials meet the governor’s office on Monday to explain the mix-up.
