Fliers who behave badly and cause flight delays will face hefty fines when flying Air India.
After one too many incidents involving belligerent customers — who also happened to be members of parliament — Air India announced that unruly passengers who cause a flight delay of up to one hour will be slapped with a hefty five lakh in rupees (RM33,936) fine.
That doubles to 10 lakh rupees for delays between one and two hours, and an eye-watering 15 lakh rupees for delays longer than two hours, reported The Times of India.
The decision to impose hefty fines follows a spate of incidents involving aggressive and combative passengers against airport staff, three of which involved high-ranking politicians.
Last month, a member of parliament was charged with assaulting a 60-year-old airline staffer with his slippers during an altercation that delayed an Air India flight. The politician was downgraded from business to economy class.
