Woman creates ruckus at airport

Patna: Angry over alleged mismanagement on part of Kingfisher Airlines' staff at the Jaya Prakash Narayan International Airport here, a middle-aged woman on Sunday created a ruckus-like situation.
Sources at the airport said that two passengers were not allowed to board Kingfisher's Patna-Mumbai flight (IT 3571) as they arrived at the airport after the closure of the boarding counter. Kingfisher IT 3571 was scheduled to take off from here at 2.50 pm.
"Both the flyers reached the airport around 2.30 pm. By this time all counters were closed. None of the two was allowed to undergo security check," a source at the airport told TOI.
"They immediately took up the matter with Kingfisher officials. The infuriated woman passenger slapped a Kingfisher official and created uproar," sources said.
Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) personnel had to intervene in order to normalise the situation. "Both the flyers were booked on the same flight on December 14. Neither re-booking charges (Rs 750 each) nor difference of Fair (DF) charges (Rs 1200 each) was taken from the aggrieved passengers," sources said.
