After witnessing multiple female-related incidents during flights by male passengers, the leading carrier IndiGo now come up with a solution. The company has added a feature, where it is giving authority to female flyers to choose their seats next to another female passenger at the time of web-check ins, as reported by TOI.
It has been reported that the initiative has been taken to offer female passengers an improved, safer and seamless air travel experience across the routes operated by the airline.
Here’s What Official Statement Says
The report says the airline has generated an official statement regarding the same, where it said, “It is specifically tailored to PNRs (Passenger Name Records) with women travelers — solo as well as part of family bookings.… (this is) currently in pilot mode aligning with our ‘girl power’ ethos.” The airline also revealed that the feature has been added after the market research.
Past Female Related Incidents
The decision comes after some of the female-related viral incidents hits the headlines in the past few months. Last year, a shocking incident was reported on an Air India flight, where a male passenger urinated on fellow female flyers. Later, legal action was taken against the offender.
In another shocking incident in IndiGo, a professor sexually harassed a doctor on board when traveling on a route from Delhi-Mumbai in July 2023, followed by a similar incident where a lady was groped during the Mumbai-Guwahati IndiGo flight in September 2023.
