Both flights were delayed and passengers were put to discomfort due to insufficient cooling in the cabin. Further, repeated incidents of passengers being put to discomfort by Air India in violation of DGCA norms have come to the notice of the regulator, as per the show cause notice.
The regulator also noted that Air India is “time and again failing in taking due care of passengers“, and not complying with its provisions related to ‘Facilities to be provided to passengers by airlines due to denied boarding, cancellation of flights and delays in flights.”

“Air India is hereby called upon to show cause as to why enforcement action shall not be initiated against the airline,” for the violations, the regulator said. (Maxim News)
