Vistara passenger 'molested' air hostess in Lucknow-Delhi flight; arrested

In a shocking incident, a 62-year-old passenger allegedly molested a cabin crew member of Air Vistara. A Vistara spokesperson said: “A member of our cabin crew operating flight number UK 997 from Lucknow to Delhi on March 24, 2018, reported an incident of sexual harassment by a passenger. Vistara does not tolerate abusive or unruly behaviour by passengers that puts the safety of its staff and other customers at risk, or compromises their dignity. We have reported the matter to the police and other relevant authorities."

Accused Rajeev Vasant Dani was arrested by the Delhi police from the airport itself after the complaint was lodged. Vistara also informed that it was "fully committed to providing cooperation to all the authorities" probing the case. The accused passenger was arrested earlier in the day, after an FIR was registered in Delhi.

Air India, Vistara planes almost collide mid-air, put 250 flyers at risk

A mid-air disaster was averted in the Mumbai airspace when a Vistara aircraft came perilously close to an Air India plane, prompting the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) to launch a probe.

On February 7, the Vistara's UK 997 Pune-bound aircraft from Delhi, carrying 152 passengers, was just 100 feet away from the Air India's AI 631 flight for Bhopal which had 109 passengers on board.
The AI flight captain has written in her resolution advisory report that the aircraft was just 100 feet away when it was taken to a safer distance.

The collision was averted after an automatic warning alerted the pilots of the two planes of being in close proximity to each other, an official said.
