New Delhi Budget carrier IndiGo on Friday said, it will support any move which bars unruly passengers from flying, a day after Air India said, it was mulling preparing a no-fly list for such people in the wake of a Shiv Sena MP assaulting its employee.
"We will support a no-fly list," IndiGo President and Whole Time Director Aditya Ghosh told PTI. At present, there is no such mechanism available with the Indian airlines.Also Read: Air India 'Blacklists' Shiv Sena MP Ravindra Gaikwad for Assaulting Staffer
Significantly, IndiGo, which is the largest domestic airline by market share, has reported a number of incidents involving unruly passengers on board its flight. On Thursday Shiv Sena MP Ravindra Gaikwad repeatedly hit a 60-year-old Air India officer with sandal in a brazen burst of fury over being unable to travel business class despite having insisted on boarding an all-economy flight.
The national carrier has filed two FIRs against the MP, while the Shiv Sena has sought an explanation from him. "Air India is examining creation of no-fly list of unruly passenger on the lines of other carriers," a senior airline official had said post the assault incident, which had invited sharp reactions from various quarters.
