Faced by flight ban, Gaikwad says he will sue airlines

Mumbai, Mar 26 (IBNS): Shiv Sena MP Ravindra Gaikwad, who is facing a flight ban imposed on him by the Federation of Indian Airlines (FIA), on Sunday said he will now seek legal action against Indigo and Air India for cancelling his confirmed tickets.

Following the flight ban, Gaikwad boarded a train to reach Mumbai.

All Airlines which are under FIA would not allow Gaikwad to board their planes.

Though Sena MP was confident to board the flight on Friday evening, the Air India had cancelled his ticket and refunded the money.

Speaking to media, Gaikwad said: "I will take legal action against Indigo and Air India for cancelling my confirmed tickets."

This comes after a video footage had showed that the MP was slapping an officer with slippers and other people present were trying to control the situation.

According to Airlines, the incident was an assault of the entire organisation and they asked for no apology from the MP since they do not want him to board the flight.

However Gaikwad had refused to apologise for the entire incident.
