IndiGo Pilot Attacked: Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia has said "unruly behaviour" on board planes will not be tolerated and every such incident will be dealt with as strongly as existing legal provisions allow.
The IndiGo passenger who slapped the captain of a Delhi-Goa flight may have been sitting in the plane, with his 100-odd co-passenger, for nearly 10 hours, waiting for the Airbus A20 to take off, sources told NDTV Monday afternoon.
India is investigating three separate incidents in the past two months where airline pilots had to shut down plane engines mid-flight. All three incidents involved engines made by CFM, a joint venture between General Electric Co and France's Safran.
