New Delhi, June 10 -- An Air India passenger who broke a window pane on a Chandigarh-Delhi flight has been referred to the airline's internal committee, which will decide whether to declare him "unruly" and place him on the no-fly list, two officials familiar with the matter said. The incident occurred on Air India flight AI1879 on June 7 (Sunday) as the aircraft was preparing to land. "The passenger broke the inner glass pane of a window despite being given several verbal and written warnings by the crew," one of the officials said. "The ground staff was informed and he was handed over to airport staff and security personnel after the flight landed in Delhi," another official added. Confirming the incident, an Air India spokesperson said, "The cockpit crew followed the standard operating procedure and, after issuing warnings to the passenger, reported the matter to the security team at Delhi airport." Under the 2017 CAR, all cases are referred to the airline's internal panel, which has 30 days to determine the category and duration of the ban. Pending its decision, airlines can impose a temporary ban of up to 30 days. "The passenger is a resident of Patna. The matter has been referred to the airline's internal committee, which will assess whether he should be classified as an unruly passenger and whether further action should be taken," the official said. "During the inquiry, his parents informed police that he was mentally unstable and requested that he be allowed to travel to Patna. Air India, however, did not permit him to board another flight," he said. "After the completion of formalities, Kumar was released and handed over to his parents," the official confirmed....
