Indigo bars LDF convenor, YC activist from flying for onboard unruly behaviour

Tuesday, 19 July 2022 | Pioneer News Service | New Delhi

IndiGo has barred Kerala's ruling Left Democratic Front's convenor E P Jayarajan and two Youth Congress activists from flying with the airline over their alleged unruly behaviour onboard a flight in which Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan was travelling to Thiruvananthapuram from Kannur last month.

The ban is up to three weeks for Jayarajan, from travelling on international as well as domestic flights of IndiGo, while a travel ban of two weeks was slapped on the Youth Congress workers. The ban, which is currently under effect, is likely to end on July 30 for the Youth Congress

workers.

On June 13, two Youth Congress workers shouted slogans against the chief minister inside the IndiGo aircraft from Kannur, after it landed at Thiruvananthapuram

airport.

Jayarajan, who was also onboard, allegedly pushed aside the two protesters.

Sources said the ban was imposed on Jayarajan and YC workers Farzeen Majeed and Naveen Kumar by the airline’s internal committee formed under the DGCA rules on unruly passengers.
