In a directive issued on Friday, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) urged the airlines to lodge a report whenever a rowdy customer is seen on board. The aviation regulator threatened them with harsh measures if they were discovered to be breaking the rules of flight safety.
He was fired by Wells Fargo, a large global financial services corporation with its California headquarters, the day before his arrest. “Wells Fargo expects its employees to conduct themselves in a professional and ethical manner, thus we find these allegations to be quite upsetting. This person’s employment with Wells Fargo has been terminated, the bank had said in a statement.
“Head of operations are hereby instructed to sensitize pilots, flight attendants, and directors of in-flight services of their respective airlines on the topic of management of unruly customer using appropriate measures under intimation to DGCA… The DGCA stated in its advise that any non-compliance with applicable regulations “would be dealt with seriously and invite enforcement action.”
