Chennai, May 24 (TIWN) A post wedding joy ride by a marriage party onboard a SpiceJet aircraft has put the private airline in a spot with videos of the celebrations going viral on social media.
A senior official of aviation regulator Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) said that the flight crew has been off-rostered for not enforcing the social distancing norms onboard. SpiceJet has been directed to lodge a complaint with relevant authorities against those people who did not follow the COVID-19 norms inside the flight, the official said. He also said that the DGCA "will take strict action" after it completes its probe into this matter. Images and videos of the mid-air wedding were circulated on social media on Monday. The images and videos purportedly show people standing extremely close to each other as the couple tied the knot.
