BENGALURU: Three days after an AirAsia India’s Hyderabad-bound flight took off before Karnataka governor Thaawar Chand Gehlot could board it at Bengaluru, the airline’s station manager at Kempegowda International Airport (KIA) has been suspended for a month.
Besides manager Zico Soares, two more airline staffers are likely to be suspended over Thursday’s “lapse” before a scheduled meeting of AirAsia officials in the governor’s office on Monday, KIA sources said.
The sources confirmed that Zico Soares had been suspended since Saturday on charges of not waiting for the VIP and giving the AirAsia (now AIX Connect) plane the go-ahead to fly with regular passengers.
