Controversies
In 2015, two Air India flights were delayed to accommodate VIP travelers, including Minister of State Kiren Rijiju and an aide of Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, with passengers allegedly offloaded to make room. The Prime Minister's Office sought a report, and the Civil Aviation Minister publicly apologized.
According to Deccan Herald, in 2015 the ministry wrote to the DGCA, BCAS, Air India, AAI, and Pawan Hans seeking details of employees who had allegedly secured jobs for relatives in violation of service rules, warning that violators would face action.
