Fliers who behave badly and cause flight delays will face hefty fines when flying Air India. ADVERTISEMENTThe decision to impose hefty fines follows a spate of incidents involving aggressive and combative passengers against airport staff, three of which involved high-ranking politicians. Last month, a member of parliament was charged with assaulting a 60-year-old airline staffer with his slippers during an altercation that delayed an Air India flight. Similar incidents involving assaults on airline staff and combative politicians have also made headlines recently, causing flight delays for the airline and fellow passengers. The airline is hoping the fines will serve as a deterrent and make passengers think twice before kicking up a disruptive fuss.
