New Delhi: A day after the licence of pilot involved in Air India’s “tiffin fight” was suspended for six months, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has now grounded the flight purser also with whom the pilot had fought.
The fight happened on June 17, 2019, when the pilot was having meal in the cockpit of an Airbus A319 before operating flight AI 772 from Bengaluru to Kolkata. The pilot then reportedly asked the purser to rinse his lunch box and when the latter said that it is not his job, a fight broke out between the two.
“Investigation report reveals pilot-in-command and cabin crew onboard the aircraft were involved in heated argument and thereafter physical altercation when aircraft was on ground during pre-departure phase and preparation for departure was in progress,” the DGCA order issued says which grounds the flight purser for six months from the date of incident.
DGCA had on Monday suspended the captain’s licence for six months from the date of fight.
