Woman Alleges ‘Inappropriate Behaviour’ By Co-Passenger On SpiceJet Flight; Airline Says ‘Didn’t File Complaint’

The airline spokesperson said that after receiving the complaint, the cabin crew relocated the seat of the male passenger. “On January 31, while SpiceJet flight SG 592 was en route from Kolkata to Bagdogra, an incident occurred involving a female passenger, who alleged inappropriate behaviour by her co-passenger. The cabin crew promptly intervened to address the situation,” the spokesperson said, as quoted by news agency ANI.

The spokesperson also stated that the accused co-passenger denied any wrongdoing and added that the woman did not file any complaint against the co-passenger at the Bagdogra airport after he apologised to her in front of the CISF officials.

“Upon arrival at Bagdogra airport, both passengers were assisted and escorted by SpiceJet security staff to CISF officials in the arrival area. The female passenger demanded action against the co-passenger. At this, the accused co-passenger tendered an apology in the presence of CISF staff. The female passenger left the airport without filing any written complaint, hindering further investigation by SpiceJet,” the airline spokesperson said.

“Throughout the incident, our cabin crew actively assisted the female passenger and ensured her comfort and safety,” the spokesperson further added.

In another incident, Indian para-athlete Suvarna Raj raised concerns about the mistreatment by the IndiGo Airlines crew members during her flight from New Delhi to Chennai on Friday. Suvarna claimed that she requested her personal wheelchair but nobody listened to her request.

Recently, a differently-abled woman claimed that she was asked to stand up by the security personnel at the Kolkata Airport. Taking to her X account, Arushi Singh said that a Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) official asked her to stand up three times during the security clearance.
