DGCA fines Air India Rs 10 lakh for not reporting unruly flyer behaviour on Paris-Delhi flight last month
NEW DELHI: The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has levied a penalty of Rs 10 lakh on Air India for not timely reporting two unruly passengers on a Paris-Delhi flight (AI-142) of December 6, 2022.
While an inebriated passenger was caught smoking in the lavatory and not following crew instructions on this flight, another flyer had allegedly relieved himself on a vacant seat and blanket of fellow female passenger when she had gone to the lav.
“DGCA (had) issued a show cause notice to the accountable manager of Air India as to why enforcement action should not be taken against them for dereliction of their regulatory obligations.
