Jet Airways, officials dismiss allegations of freebies

New Delhi: Three top officials, accused by Tehelka magazine of "abusing" their status to get free tickets and other facilities from a private airline, today rejected the allegations as "baseless" and said there was no truth in them. "I completely deny the allegations. These are totally rubbish. I have never asked for free tickets. When in service, we used to always travel by Air India," former Civil Aviation Secretary K N Srivastava said in his reaction to the Tehelka charges.
In his reaction, Kerala chief secretary and former DGCA chief EK Bharat Bhushan told PTI, "This allegation is totally false. I paid for my journeys. I have records to show that. I honestly don't know what they mean by offloading of passengers."
DGCA's Joint Director General Lalit Gupta shot off a letter to Jet Airways CEO Cramer Ball, copying it to DGCA chief Prabhat Kumar, warning of legal recourse accusing the airline of "leakage" of its confidential papers.
