Italian woman passenger arrested for unruly behaviour on Vistara flight

Inebriated, Paola Perruccio punched a crew on her face and spat on another on board the Abu Dhabi-Mumbai Vistara flight. The unruly passenger, running amok, pacing up and down the aisle, throwing away her clothes, had to restrained, dressed and tied to a seat at the back end of the plane.

MUMBAI, Jan 31: An Italian woman passenger was arrested in Mumbai on Monday morning for unruly behaviour onboard an Abu Dhabi-Mumbai Vistara flight. She tried to forcibly occupy a seat in the business class while she had booked in the economy class, and a ruckus followed.

She allegedly hit a crew and spat on another on board the Vistara airline flight UK 256. The flyer, identified as Paola Perruccio, 45, who was inebriated, tried to occupy a business class seat while she had booked in the economy class. She created a ruckus when prevented from occupying the upper class.

The police complaint filed by the crew also states that Paola Perruccio moved around in the aisle, tried to undress herself and abused the crew. The unruly passenger had to be dressed and restrained by the crew to a seat at the end of the aisle till the plane landed at 5 am and was handed over to the police.

She was arrested and later released on bail on Rs 25,000. Her passport has been seized. “The flyer has been booked for an act endangering life or personal safety and other bailable offences under the Indian Penal Code and the Aircraft Rules 1937," the Sahar police said.

Paola Perruccio's medical examination showed she was inebriated during the journey.

“Perruccio was in seat 11C in the economy class when she suddenly ran to the business class and sat on seat No. 1. She punched my face when I requested her not to sit in business class. When another cabin crew member ran to help and told the flyer she could not misbehave on board, she spat on her," crew LS Khan stated in his complaint to the police. He also said that she undressed and walked in the aisle and abused the crew. Paola Perruccio had to be tied to a back seat upon the pilot's orders, he added.

However, the Italian flyer told the court that she wanted to flag poor services on the flight.

Perruccio’s attorney Prabhakar Tripathi told BBC that the allegations against her were “false.” He claimed that Perruccio was “uncomfortable” in her economy seat and requested to be moved to a vacant seat in business class.
