Sonu Nigam's onboard singing: Action against jet crew

Action has been initiated against the cockpit crew and six cabin crew of a private airline by taking them off flying duties pending investigation, after a singer was allowed to sing in the flight on January 4, Civil Aviation Minister Ashok Gajapathi Raju said today.
The cabin crew in-charge was suspended for 15 days and all the crew members issued warning letters, he said in Rajya Sabha while assuring members that no compromise will be allowed on passenger safety.
“It is not as if no action is being taken and, definitely, frivolous activities will not be encouraged,” he said in reply to supplementaries during Question Hour.
“The public address system in aircraft is basically meant to reach out information of all kinds to the passengers. Safety and security will never be compromised and if there are aberrations, they will be attended to as per the rules and regulations,” he said.
The incident occured when Sonu Nigam had an impromptu performance on a Jet Airways flight following requests by some passengers using the public address system. Later, the airline issued a statement saying it had suspended all cabin crew of the Jodhpur-Mumbai flight and was enforcing corrective measures and taking disciplinary action.
