NEW DELHI: A husband-wife spat reportedly turned so ugly on an Amritsar-Delhi flight Saturday and when a co-passenger tried to intervene, the man ended up having the fight with the latter too. The cabin crew then took co-passenger to business class to seat him away from the angry husband, who was handed over to security on arrival. “The third passenger had just tried to intervene and calm things down,” said sources. The latest case of unruly behaviour happened on AI 454 Amritsar-Delhi.
An AI spokesperson said: “Air India confirms that an incident of unruly passenger behaviour occurred on board flight AI454 from Amritsar to Delhi on June 28, 2025. During cabin preparations for landing, a member of our cabin crew noticed a passenger standing in the aisle, engaged in a verbal altercation with another passenger. The second passenger reported to the crew that the individual was being abusive.”
“Our cabin crew immediately de-escalated the situation by relocating the second passenger to a business class seat for the duration of the landing. Following a complaint by the second passenger, the pilot-in-command notified our security team on the ground about the situation, who were present upon the flight’s arrival in Delhi. The disruptive passenger was handed over to the airport security for further investigation. Air India maintains a zero-tolerance policy towards disruptive behaviour and prioritises the safety and well-being of all passengers and crew. We will fully cooperate with the relevant authorities, and the matter is now under their purview,” the statement added.
