Aviation Ministry seeks reports on delay of flights

New Delhi: Civil Aviation Ministry has sought reports from Air India on the recent incidents involving Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Union Minister Kiren Rijiju which allegedly led to delay of flights.

"We are awaiting reports on the (two) incidents from Air India," Civil Aviation Secretary R N Choubey said here today.

The Ministry has asked Air India to submit the reports soon and "would take a call after receiving them", he said.

An Air India flight to Newark from Mumbai was delayed by nearly an hour on June 29 after it was reported that an aide of Fadnavis travelling with him had not carried his passport with valid US visa.
