Thirteen employees of airlines and airports have failed breathalyser tests since September 16 and been suspended for three months each, an official with the directorate-general of civil aviation said on Monday.
Among them were seven IndiGo employees and one airside worker each of GoAir and SpiceJet, he said. (The airside is the area beyond security checks and passport and customs control in an airport terminal, where entry is restricted.)
The other four included two Bangalore airport employees — a senior assistant and a manager at the airline operations control centre — a senior airport electrician in Mumbai working for a sub-contractor, and an aerobridge operator at Delhi airport, he said. The last two tested positive on October 18 and 21, respectively.
