Mumbai: Five air hostesses of Jet Airways have been grounded for allowing playback singer Sonu Nigam to sing from the plane’s address system.
The in-flight concert took place during a chartered flight from Jodhpur to Mumbai on January 4.
The passengers aboard the flight were returning from a wedding and knew each other. They requested Nigam to sing some of his hit songs.
He sang two songs – Panchhi nadiya from Abhishek Bachchan’s ‘Refugee,’ and Do pal ruka from Yash Raj Films’ ‘Veer Zaara,’ according to the reports.
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) took a strict view of the performance and asked the airline to take immediate action.
