Jet stewardess runs into trouble with DGCA

Agencies

New Delhi, 10 July 2011: A Jet Airways airhostess has run into trouble with the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) after she requested a person flying on a Singapore Delhi flight to sneak in four bottles of whiskey through Customs for her.

 

The person she approached turned out to be DGCA’s deputy director D Sharan. The incident occurred last month.

 

The DGCA official immediately took action, writing a strongly-worded note to the Chairman of Jet Airways.

 

As a result, the entire crew of flight 9W-0174 was grounded and a probe was ordered.

 

This is not the first time that the airlines crew has been caught. Earlier also two crew members were arrested in Heathrow for smuggling cigarettes.
