Daijiworld Media Network - Mangalore (SP)
Mangalore, Jul 29: In connection with the requisitioning of a Mumbai-bound Kingfisher aircraft that was about to take off on Sunday July 26 night, for picking up a passenger it had left behind at the local airport, two employees who were on duty at the time of the incident, have been suspended by the local station manager of Kingfisher Airlines.
A staff manning the boarding gate and a ramp staff were suspended for dereliction of duty.
It may be recalled that Rishi Mehta, local head of Kingfisher Airlines, had asked the aircraft pilot to abort take off and come back to the tarmac to pick up a lady passenger, who had been left out at the lounge, even though her baggages had been loaded on to the said aircraft.
In the meantime, the officials of the department of civil aviation who arrived here to investigate the incident, are continuing with their work.
