New Delhi: In a recent incident that has sparked outrage, a passenger aboard a SpiceJet flight engaged in inappropriate behavior by clicking objectionable photos of the cabin crew, raising serious concerns about passenger conduct and airline safety. The incident, which occurred on SpiceJet flight SG157 operating from Delhi to Mumbai on August 2, has prompted the Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) to take swift action by issuing notices to both the police and the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA).
According to a statement released by SpiceJet, the passenger in question was seated in the first row of the aircraft. While the flight was in the process of taking off, the individual took advantage of the opportunity and discreetly started taking pictures of the cabin crew. The crew members, vigilant and quick to respond, noticed the inappropriate behavior and immediately approached the passenger.
Recognizing the severity of his actions, the passenger was confronted by the cabin crew. Realizing the gravity of the situation, the passenger promptly deleted the objectionable photos from his phone and issued a sincere apology for his misconduct. The airline further reported that the passenger had also submitted a written apology, expressing remorse for his actions.
The incident did not go unnoticed by the Delhi Commission for Women (DCW), an organization committed to safeguarding the rights and dignity of women. The chief of DCW expressed deep concern over the incident, highlighting the invasive nature of the passenger’s behavior. In a statement, the chief stated, “In a flight from Delhi to Mumbai, a passenger secretly took videos and objectionable photos of the flight attendant and other women. A video about this is going viral on Instagram. This is a very serious matter, taking cognizance they are issuing notices to the police and DGCA.”
The DCW’s decision to issue notices to both the police and the DGCA underscores the gravity of the situation. It serves as a reminder that inappropriate behavior and violations of privacy will not be tolerated, and appropriate actions will be taken to ensure the safety and dignity of airline crew members and passengers alike.
This incident highlights the critical importance of enforcing strict codes of conduct for passengers aboard flights. Airlines have a responsibility to provide a safe and secure environment for both their employees and passengers. Passengers must also be educated about acceptable behavior while on board and the potential legal consequences of engaging in inappropriate actions.
The incident involving the passenger clicking objectionable photos of the cabin crew on a SpiceJet flight has shed light on the need for continued efforts to uphold the dignity and safety of individuals in the aviation industry. The swift response from both the airline and the DCW reflects a commitment to addressing such incidents promptly and firmly. As air travel continues to connect people across the globe, ensuring respectful behavior and a zero-tolerance stance toward violations of privacy remains paramount.
