NEW DELHI: IndiGo on Thursday barred TDP MP Diwakar Reddy from its flights, hours after the lawmaker went on a rampage at Vizag airport targeting the low cost carrier. Following IndiGo's decision, Air India, SpiceJet and Jet Airways also announced that they will not allow the TDP MP on their flights.
"The Visakhapatnam incident is a matter of concern. As IndiGo has banned the MP, AI has also barred his travel on our flights," said an AI spokesman.
The Telugu Desam Party (TDP) MP created a major ruckus at the airport when he was denied boarding pass as he reported late for a flight to Hyderabad. JC Diwakar Reddy, Lok Sabha MP from Anantpur in Andhra Pradesh, reached less than 45 minutes before 6E 608 was supposed to take off.
When the MP reached the counter, he was told that the check-in for the flight had been closed. The TDP politician got very abusive and restless. He entered the ticketing corner of IndiGo inside the airport and allegedly damaged some furniture and a printer there.
The MP - who is known for his temper and was involved in a similar incident at another airport last year - was reportedly accommodated on the same flight which got delayed in the process and left after its departure time of 8.10 am on Thursday.
However, IndiGo later announced to ban him from its flights and other airlines followed suit.
In Ravindra Gaikwad case too this March, Air India had first banned the Shiv Sena MP from flying and then other airlines did the same.
"That was the first time airlines banned an unruly flyer and we were forced to reverse that move under instructions from the aviation ministry as Shiv Sena is an important ally of the ruling NDA. The BJP-led Maharastra government is surviving on Shiv Sena support. This time, the MP is from another ally the TDP and the aviation minister is from the same party. Let us see how fast the aviation ministry buckles now," said a senior official of an airline.
The aviation ministry is working on a no-fly list but implementing that will take time as first some identity proof like Aadhaar or passport number needs to be linked to booking domestic air tickets. Without that, the banned person can simply buy tickets on another name.
