Amid ongoing controversy over Air India urinating incident, yet another incident of inflight harassment has come to light where two foreign tourists allegedly misbehaved with woman flight attendants.
The incident reportedly took place on 5 January on a Mumbai-bound Go First flight from Goa, where a foreign tourist allegedly insisted that one of the flight attendants sit with him and spoke obscenely with another, NDTV reported quoting sources.
The incident was also highlighted by a fellow passenger on the flight named Tarun Shukla, who in a LinkedIn post, said tourists were apparently ‘Russian’ and appeared to be ‘high’ (not drunk).
Both foreign nationals were offloaded from the flight, the airline’s spokesperson said on Saturday. The matter was also reported to the aviation safety regulator DGCA, he added.
The incident took place on the day that the new airport was opened. Confirming it, Go First said that the incident happened on its GA-372 flight.
“During the overwing briefing, two customers used offensive language (abused crew and continuously made fun). Crew politely informed the customer to not use such language however customer continued doing so. Other customers seated beside felt offended and uncomfortable and demanded to offload. In the interest of safety both customers are offloaded,” the airline’s statement read.
