Air India-MP row: To deal with Gaikwads and Dolas,
Modi govt to come out with national no-fly list
The Civil Aviation Ministry is in consultation with the DGCA for preparing a no-fly list for unruly fliers
The
government is working on a national no-fly list to make sure that
anybody who brings the safety and security of airline passengers in
danger is not able to fly again till he or she takes remedial steps. The
Ministry of Civil Aviation is in consultation with the Directorate
General of Civil Aviation for preparing the list
The government
has been left wiser after the recent manhandling of an Air India duty
manager at the Delhi international airport by Shiv Sena Member of
Parliament Ravindra Vishwanath Gaikwad. The March 23 incident led to
boycott of Gaikwad by all the airlines who refused to fly him till he
tendered an apology. It was finally today that Air India lifted the
restriction on the MP after Aviation Minister Pusapati Ashok Gajapati
Raju accepted Gaikwad’s apology.
“In order to deal with the unruly
passengers in a more effective manner in future, amendment to CAR
(civil aviation requirements) is being drafted by DGCA in consultation
with this ministry for establishing a National No Fly List," a lett and sent by the ministry to Air India Chairman and Managing Director Ashwani Lohani stated
While
Gaikwad wasn’t able to fly since another incident — this one involving
All India Trinamool Congress’ Rajya Sabha member Dola Sen — occurred on
Friday. Sen was flying Air India from Delhi to Kolkata with her
wheelchair-bound mother and had paid extra for a front-row economy class
seat for some more leg room. This seat, being next to an emergency
exit, could only be occupied by a physically fit passenger.The cabin
crew offered Sen a business class seat which she refused. The airline,
delayed by 40 minutes, could only fly after the airline relented.
