Unruly Flier Attacks Cabin Crew; Air India Flight to London Returns to Delhi

New Delhi: Air India flight AI 111 on its way to London with around 225 passengers, returned to the Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) in New Delhi because of an unruly male passenger. The unruly passenger was deboarded at the airport and later the flight took off for London Heathrow. Airport police took the man into custody for investigation.

This unruly passenger in the Air India flight to London allegedly harmed two cabin crew members, the airline sources said.

This shocking incident comes months after a drunk man urinated on a woman co-passenger onboard an Air India plane flying from New York to Delhi.

Air India said in a statement today that an Air India flight to London’s Heathrow airport returned shortly after take-off due to “serious unruly behaviour of a passenger”.

“Not heeding to verbal and written warnings, the passenger continued with unruly behaviour including causing physical harm to two of the cabin crew members. The pilot in command decided to return to Delhi and the passenger was handed over to the security personnel upon landing. An FIR has also been lodged with the police,” the airline said.
