Senior executives of air india SATS (AISATS) were allegedly seen on camera dancing at a dj party at their Gurugram office, just eight days after the disaster, even though india is still mourning the loss of almost 270 lives in the Flight AI171 crash.
Many people are furious over the video, which is currently making the rounds on social media. A lot of people are still waiting for the remains of their loved ones to return. Only 202 of the 220 bodies that had been identified had been turned over as of june 21; several victims remained in morgues awaiting dna confirmation.
AISATS Draws fire for 'Tone-Deaf' Celebration
A rising scandal has centered on AISATS as a result of the june 20 celebration, which was purportedly attended by the company's chief financial officer, chief operating officer Abraham Zakaria, and general manager Sampreet Kotian of Bengaluru international airport Limited.
Airport ground services, including those for the Boeing 787 Dreamliner that crashed on its ahmedabad to london Gatwick route, are managed by AISATS, a 50:50 joint venture between Singapore's SATS Ltd and Tata Group's air india Limited.
Shortly after takeoff on june 12, a catastrophic engine failure caused the aircraft to crash into a dormitory building in a heavily populated area of Ahmedabad. Along with several on the ground, all 241 persons on board perished. Since the majority of the victims were badly burned, forensic dna analysis was necessary for identification.
"AISATS is aware of a video being circulated on social media that, unfortunately, it is completely out of context," the business said in a statement in response to the criticism. However, we deeply apologize for any emotional distress this may have caused," a representative told IANS.
