Leave celebrities alone, provide them elbow room on flights: Air India to crew

Mumbai: One of the perks of being a pilot or a flight attendant would be getting a chance to be around VVIPs and celebrities when they're on board your flight. But a number of celebrities don't like to be bothered, especially on flights, because there is nowhere to retreat to. So if a cabin crew or a pilot comes around requesting a selfie or worse, wanting to discuss the latest going-ons in their field of expertise, the VVIP might get cross and complain.
In an office order issued last week, Air India director (operations) has laid out the dos and don'ts for crew when dealing with important passengers on board. "It has come to our knowledge that whenever VVIP/VIP are travelling on our flights, crew is/are intruding into their personal periphery and disturbing them by requesting for selfie/photo clicks, etc, and getting into unwarranted discussions," said the order.
This not only hampers their smooth and peaceful travel but also disturbs other passengers seated in executive class/first class, it said. "All cockpit and cabin crew are hereby instructed not to intrude into the personal space of VVIP/VIP, whenever they are travelling on our fleet," stated the order, warning that "any disregard to the instructions will be viewed seriously and appropriate disciplinary action will be taken against the said crew".
