New Delhi, March 18

Amid rising number of Covid-19 cases and also in the backdrop of an order issued by the DGCA, airlines have started acting against those flyers refusing to wear masks in the flights.

Three airlines, including IndiGo, AirAsia and Alliance Air, have acted against eight passengers in the past few days.

Officials said a middle seat passenger on IndiGo’s Delhi-Goa flight on Monday first created fuss on the issue of wearing a PPE gown, and then she kept taking off her mask during the flight even after repeated warnings by the cabin crew. The crew handed her over to the security authorities once the flight landed in Goa, they added. — TNS
