Mumabi: In an incident that has left Air India red-faced, four flight attendants who were put up in a hotel in Chicago created a major scene last Tuesday. "The cause of the fight is not known, but they were screaming and shouting. After some time, they turned very violent with each other. Someone broke a bottle and there were fisticuffs," said an airline source. "Cabin crew members and others have had arguments in the past, but these are sorted out and they never get out of hand. Never in the history of the airline has such a violent fight taken place," he added.
"The police came in and an ambulance was called because some of them were injured. But the hotel apparently intervened and requested the police to not register a case. They reasoned that these four were scheduled to depart the next day," said another source. "But the four were restrained in their rooms from 2am to 10.30am with the police posted outside each room. They were escorted to the airport by the police and it is likely that they may be banned from entering the US," the source added.
