AI's decision comes after a flyer on its Muscat-Delhi flight allegedly molested an airhostess on January 2.
Air India, which has been in the red for the past many years, has posted an operating profit of Rs 105 crore in the last fiscal first time in a decade.
New Delhi: Facing flak over 2 cases of molestation by passengers over the last fortnight, Air India has decided to keep plastic handcuffs on all its flights to keep unruly fliers in their seats.
According to a report, AI chairman Ashwani Lohani said, “The safety of passengers and aircraft is paramount. We will not compromise with that."
AI's decision comes after a flyer on its Muscat-Delhi flight allegedly molested an airhostess on January 2 and a flyer on its Mumbai-Newark flight reportedly groped a co-passenger on December 21.
"Restraining a pax (passenger) is one of the last steps and should be done only if the matter is totally out of control," the AI cabin crew manual says.
