The woman travelling from the western city of Mumbai to India's capital New Delhi was not allowed to board Monday's flight because her dress was too short, the ‘Indian Express’ reported.
An official at IndiGo, who asked not to be named, told AFP that the dress had stopped above the knee, in violation of rules issued to employees and relatives of staff.
The woman was formerly employed by the airline and was travelling on a special ticket because her sister worked for the company, the official said.
"Employees and the nominated family members are required to maintain a specific dress code, as and when they fly with the airline under the staff leisure travel privileges," read an IndiGo statement.
"Keeping in mind this policy, the Mumbai ground staff followed the protocol to brief this passenger on the dress code policy," it added.
The Indian national changed her attire and was allowed onto a later flight, the official said, stressing that the dress code was not for ordinary customers.
So, my question.... Should this clothing policy apply to passengers as well ?
Agree with WT ......... News agents have nothing else to do ....... than indulging in gossip at the others' difficult situations .......................
Public must be wise enough for not giving this much liberty to the news mongers to attack your privacy ...... ....................
Now AFP supports leg showing ........... next hour you will see them reporting another woman being given clothes to protect her modesty in another city ........ ............ actually people need these kind of news ......... ..
What's the need to mention that the passenger was a female ...... AFP often makes fun of modern women ........ ..........
Every Carrier got its own dress codes for staff. fair enough!
But I fail to understand the enforcement of dress code on "relatives of staff" by IndiGo.
