Bengaluru: Women working in SpiceJet as cabin crews have threatened a boycott that will leave flights grounded, if they continue to be subjected to strip searches.
These employees want the company to put a complete stop to such frisking.
Crew members have even been asked to remove their innerwear during searches, sources told India Today. What's more, they say this wasn't done in a completely-closed area either.
In fact, a video of SpiceJet air hostesses accusing their airline of strip-searching them at the Chennai airport went viral Saturday.
SpiceJet confirmed that its security teams carried out "random pat down searches" on the nights of March 28 and 29 as part of security and safety standard operating procedures, but rejected the allegation that the crew was strip-searched.
Some reports quoted one of the air hostesses as saying she was asked to leave out sanitary napkins she was carrying in her handbag, while another said she was asked to remove the one she was wearing.
