Major airlines bar army officer after violent assault on SpiceJet staff at Srinagar airport: Report

Major Indian carriers have banned the Indian Army officer accused of violently assaulting four SpiceJet employees at Srinagar airport in July, broadening the no-fly restrictions earlier enforced by SpiceJet and the aviation regulator, according to a Hindustan Times report.

Officials said the coordinated action underscores the industry’s zero-tolerance stance after the attack left one staffer with severe spinal injuries.
