Kerala Chief Minister Oommen Chandy ordered a probe into the incident of protest by passengers of an Air India flight at the International Airport here today that led to a hijack alarm.
Complaints of passengers against the pilot, who sent a hijack alert in panic, and also the pilot’s complaints against passengers would be looked into, he said.
The Chief Minister said he has instructed Director General of Police K S Balasubramaniam to investigate the matter.
Around 200 passengers of an Air India Kochi-bound flight from Abu Dhabi protested and some allegedly tried to enter the cockpit after it was diverted here due to poor visibility.
