Sharing a flight with celebrity and having hit Bollywood numbers in-flight announcement system may give many passengers an ultimate memory, but this would turn out risky for the crew of the airways.
Five air hostesses of Jet Airways who allowed playback artist Sonu Nigam to sing in-flight have been suspended. The in-flight concert took place during a chartered flight from Jodhpur to Mumbai on January 4.
As per the reports all passengers on board knew each other and requested Nigam to sing. The singer obliged and sang two songs — Do pal ruka from Yash Raj Films’ Veer Zaara and Panchhi nadiya from Abhishek Bachchan’s launch movie, Refugee.
When the passengers started singing with Nigam, he said: “Arrey wah, aap bhi gaatein hain. My God, saare singer hain (Wow, you all can sing too. Everyone’s a singer here).” Videos of the singer crooning in air were posted on social media by some flyers and went viral.
The aviation safety regulator, Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has taken a serious note of airhostesses allowing a passenger to take over the in-flight announcement system.
