Woman stopped from boarding plane due to ‘short’ dress

Thursday, 30 Oct, 2015 0

A woman was stopped from boarding a plane after the dress she was wearing was deemed ‘too short’.

After landing in Mumbai, India, on a Qatar Airways flight from Doha, the passenger was stopped from getting on her connecting flight to Delhi with Indian low cost airline IndiGo.

Another passenger described it on Facebook as a ‘disturbing instance of harassment of a young female passenger by three male IndiGo employees’.

The woman missed her flight but was allowed on another one after she reportedly changed into trousers, reports Indian news channel NDTV.

It claims IndiGo officials stopped her for not complying with a dress code that applies to its employees when they use ‘staff leisure travel privileges’ offered by the airline.

The woman’s sister was an IndiGo employee.

In the Facebook comment, the fellow passenger said: "She was not permitted to board because she was wearing a knee-length frock which was considered inappropriate wear by an airline that has frocks of the same length for its stewardesses’ uniforms!"
