MUMBAI/NEW DELHI: Following public backlash over a video showing Air India SATS executives partying in their Gurugram office shortly after the June 12 Air India flight 171 crash , Tata Group has taken disciplinary action against several people.
Four senior officials were suspended from Air India SATS, while multiple others were issued a warning, the company said on Friday.
The video, which garnered over 3.8 million views on X, captured several executives dancing with loud music playing during a celebration at Air India SATS's Gurugram premises on June 20. The celebration was widely criticised as inappropriate and inconsiderate, particularly as affected families were still mourning.
The AI-171 crash on June 12 resulted in fatalities of all crew members and passengers except one, along with casualties on the ground.
"Air India SATS deeply regrets the lapse in judgment reflected in a recent internal video," said a spokesperson of the company. "The behaviour does not align with our values, and firm disciplinary action has been taken against those responsible," the spokesperson added.
