Emirates appeals Indian court order

Dubai: Emirates is appealing an Indian court decision ordering it to pay Rs1.1 million (Dh84,360) in compensation for causing "inconvenience, discomfort and mental harassment" to a passenger couple.
A consumer court in the northern Indian city of Chandigarh entered the order after Indian passenger Manmohan Lal Sarin, flying from New Delhi to Johannesburg with his wife, alleged that the cabin crew offered a "large metal box" with a pillow on it to replace a broken footrest, The Times of India reported.
The couple also alleged that on the return journey they were put in business class despite holding a first class ticket.
Contacted by Gulf News, an Emirates spokesperson in Dubai said the airline is appealing the judgment.
