The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), on Monday, issued an advisory to airlines reiterating the existing provisions in place to deal with unruly passengers.
The advisory came on the day when Air India deboarded an unruly male passenger who caused physical harm to two cabin crew members onboard a Delhi-London flight, which returned to the national capital shortly after departure.
The DGCA stressed that there are provisions under the Civil Aviation Requirement (CAR) for action to be taken by the airline to deal with unruly passengers. The advisory also highlighted the responsibilities of pilots, cabin crew members and the director of inflight services as mentioned in the CAR.
