TDP MP Diwakar Reddy put on no-fly list by two more airlines

New Delhi: Two more airlines, AirAsia and Vistara, have barred TDP MP JC Diwakar Reddy, a day after he allegedly misbehaved with IndiGo staff and created a ruckus at Vizag airport.

Following the incident, IndiGo and four other airlines - Air India, Jet Airways, SpiceJet and GoAir - late on Thursday evening barred Reddy from travelling on their aircraft.

Reddy has alleged to have created a ruckus at Visakhapatnam airport on Thursday after he was denied a boarding pass for an IndiGo flight as he had showed up late.

"We will support the decision taken by the industry with regard to the recent incident involving an IndiGo staff," AirAsia India said in a statement.

On its part, Vistara said, "In support of the fellow carriers and zero tolerance towards abusive behaviour, Vistara has also taken a decision to impose a flying ban on JC Diwakar Reddy."
