IndiGo pilot de-rostered after complaint of abuse from passenger

A pilot working with budget carrier IndiGo has been de-rostered after a complaint from a woman who said her 75-year-old wheelchair-bound mother was abused by him.

Civil Aviation minister Hardeep Puri took note of 50-year-old Supriya Nair’s tweets and said that the airline has de-rostered the pilot.

“I requested my office to contact @IndiGo6E as soon as I saw the tweet by Ms @SupriyaUnniNair about the pilot’s behaviour with her & her 75 yr old mother in need of wheelchair assistance. The airline has informed @MoCA_GoI that the pilot has been off-rostered pending full enquiry,” Puri said on Twitter. He attached Ms Nair’s tweet for reference.
