Days after the 'unruly' behaviour in Air India, another incident of 'misbehaving' mid-air was reported at the Manohar International Airport at Mopa in Goa. Two Russian men had reportedly harassed the flight attendants onboard the Goa-Mumbai flight.
According to reports, the incident occurred on Go First flight G8372 on Friday evening just before the takeoff. The new airport in Goa commenced its operations on Thursday.
A complaint was filed with the CISF. The two foreign nationals were offloaded and handed over to CISF personnel and the airline immediately informed the Director General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), reported Times of India.
The men were accused of using obscene language with flight attendants. "The intensity kept on increasing and the co-passengers also took offence to it. They were made uncomfortable. They had to be deboarded in the interest of safety," said an airline official.
One of the foreigners had asked the flight attendant to sit next to him, said the reports. Despite several attempts from the crew, the passengers kept on misbehaving.
A statement issued by Go First said that the two passengers had used offensive language, abused the crew and continuously made fun of them. "The crew politely informed the customers not to use such language. However, the customer continued doing so," read the statement.
The harassment occurred while the flight attendants were conducting the safety briefing prior to take off.
Meanwhile, no police complaint was lodged by the airline.
