More bad behavior in India’s unfriendly skies.
A high ranking official of Air India was allegedly assaulted by an unruly passenger.
It happened during a Delhi bound flight from Sydney.
The passenger has since apologized but the airline says it will press charges if appropriate.
It has informed the aviation regulator, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation/
Sandeep Verma, Air India’s Head of Inflight Services, was struck by the passenger and was subjected to verbal abuse.
It apparently took several crew members to calm the passenger down.
He was issued a written warning nut no other action was taken at the time.
Verma did not make a complaint after the incident.
“Air India will take a firm stand against misbehaviour. We will pursue this to the full extent of the law,” the airline said.
