As of now, the photo or video of the Italian woman has now been revealed. However, reports suggest that a warning card was issued against the woman passenger Paola Perruccio, from Italy for engaging in unruly and violent behaviour on Vistara flight UK 256 operating from Abu Dhabi to Mumbai on 30 Jan 2023. As per the SOPs, the case was reported to the local police station immediately after the flight landed in Mumbai in the early hours of Monday, January 30. Furthermore, the Vistara spokesperson was quoted saying, "In accordance with the guidelines and our stringent SOPs, the security agencies on-ground were informed to take immediate action upon arrival." The flight took off from Abu Dhabi at 2.03 am. Notably, the pilot repeatedly made announcements assuring the customers onboard the flight, of their safety and security.
It is pertinent to mention here that the world is seeing a spike in passengers' unruly behaviour in flight. Not only India but also other countries around the world are witnessing the same. To counter this, in India or Indian-bound flights, it is reported that the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Transport, Tourism and Culture will discuss the issue of recent instances of uncivilised behaviour reported on flights and the measures to stop such incidents from happening in the future. Reports further suggest that officials from the Civil aviation committee will depose before the committee. The committee under the chairmanship of Vijaysai Reddy is expected to suggest a policy revamp to ensure the security of the passengers onboard. The possibility of having security personnel onboard to control unruly passengers will also be discussed.
