No violation of safety norm or unfair seat allotment: Air India

December 27, 2014 18:46

Air India today said its fight safety wing is looking into the issue of a daughter of a senior pilot resting in a bunk, meant only for use of flight crew members, during one of its flights to Newark from Mumbai recently. However, it asserted that the incident "did not affect the flight safety of any crew".

The airlines also rebutted allegations made by a former cabin crew that one of the airline's pre-booked first class passengers was denied a seat to accommodate a senior bureaucrat during one of its flights from Frankfurt.

K V J Rao, a union leader and former Air India cabin crew, had alleged in his complaint, lodged with civil aviation secretary, that a first class passenger was forced to sit in the executive class on one of the national carrier's flight to Delhi from Frankfurt to accommodate a senior bureaucrat last month.
