More modern day insanity:
Air India is set to launch women-only seating to protect female fliers from sexual harassment after a number of women were allegedly groped by male passengers. Starting January 18th, these seats will be made available on Airbus A320 aircrafts to women who travel alone and do not wish to be seated next to men, and will see the first two rows sectioned off. Air India general manager-revenue management Meenakshi Malik told The Hindu that the company would not be charging any additional fee for blocking these seats as the move is meant to enhance female safety. “We feel, as national carriers, it is our responsibility to enhance comfort level to female passengers. There are a lot of female passengers who travel alone with us and we will be blocking a few seats for them.” The women-only seats will be available on domestic flights but may be extended to other flights in the next few months.
