IndiGo pilot suspended for 3 months for threatening wheelchair-bound senior citizen in flight
NEW DELHI: Aviation regulator DGCA on Monday suspended an IndiGoNSE 0.15 % captain for three months for “intimidating and threatening” a wheelchair-bound senior citizen in a Chennai-Bengaluru flight on January 13, an official said.
During investigation, it was found that the pilot-in-command “insisted” on an apology letter from the passengers — the senior citizen and her daughter — which further delayed the matter, detaining them for approximately 75 minutes after the deboarding began at the Bengaluru airport.
