Indian flyers display rude behaviour: UAE report

• Indian flyers display rude behaviour: UAE report

NEW DELHI: The probe by the UAE aviation authorities into the crash-landing of an Emirates flight at Dubai last month has shown Indian flyers in poor light. Flight EK-521 was flying from Thiruvananthapurm in Kerala to Dubai on August 3 with 282 passengers -of which 226 or over 80% were Indians -when the aircraft burst into flames minutes after landing.

The preliminary report by UAE General Civil Aviation Authority talks about "passenger behaviour and carry-on baggage" during the crucial seconds when everyone on board miraculously evacuated the Boeing777 just in time before it started burning. Based on cabin crew inputs, the report says how flyers evacuated the plane with their hand bags despite being told by the crew not to do so. While the report does not name Indians, the reference is quite clear, with 80% of flyers on the plane from the country .

"The cabin crew members stated that when the aircraft got impacted and slid along the runway, passengers started to unfasten their seatbelts and stand up. An announcement was made for the passengers to remain seated. When the aircraft came to rest, some passengers were screaming, grabbing their belongings, and asking the cabin crew members to open the doors," the report says.

"The cabin crew members followed the operator's safety instructions that prohibit passengers taking their carry-on baggage during an evacuation, and they instructed the passengers to leave their bags behind. However, several passengers evacuated the aircraft carrying their baggage. Footage of the evacuation showed a number of passengers outside the aircraft with their baggage," the report adds.

While panic in such situations is normal human behaviour, several crew members and pilots of Indian carriers and even some crew of foreign airlines that fly abroad say Indians are by and large seen as flyers with "special behaviour" -a euphemism for displaying not-so-good behaviour in air. First timers are, however, not seen as the only `troublesome' desi flyer.

"The behaviour of scores of frequent flyers is also not good. They hanker for free liquor so much that crew has to firmly deny them more drinks. Their behaviour with the crew is also not appropriate as they can be rude to air hostesses," said another pilot.

some people when they got money after poverty they become rude stupid and brainless same time . be it pakistnai or indians or anyone .

Yea as if people of other races and nationality will remain seated in a burning plane. And why was it needed to mention "special behavior" about Indians when the report is about one particular incident of accident.

True..I think the author is watching too much air crash investigation and expect smooth passenger behavior as shown in staged re-construction of plan crashes..

No , everyone behaves like that not just south asian . even the white European and Americans and the Australians too .It just we get to grab the headlines because we are not white and think that we are poor.

ummmm.... maybe because those "special" passengers with "special behaviour" were coming from a "special" country, which is why most of the passengers in that place were "special" indians.

The irony is most of those passengers probably cannot even read the article.

I don't think it has anything to do with being rich or poor. It's about how you've been brought up and how well groomed is your personality.

I've traveled alot and generally seen Pakistanis, Indians and Bangladeshis alike behave in a very "special" manner. Ofcourse, there are well groomed people from these countries also, but they are a minority. I've found sri-lankans to be generally better mannered than the above three.

And the point above about free liquor is absolutely correct in case of all three. Some people think that they own the bloody plane and the crew if they've purchased the ticket, and behave like that.

I am not surprised at behavior of some Indian passengers

I don't think it has anything to do with being rich or poor. It's about how you've been brought up and how well groomed is your personality.

generally it is the poor who behave in a bad manner. there are exceptions both ways

What will UAE report and @ashok321 say about these British and American passengers ?

Hero pilot slams passengers for grabbing luggage as they fled burning BA jet

Mr Henkey was hailed a hero for doing a "bloody good job" to save all the passengers on board the London-bound Boeing 777-200 during take off at an airport in Las Vegas on September 9.

His remarks come after "idiot" passengers were slammed for "believing bags were more important than burning alive".
As smoke billowed from the jet, dozens of people took time to grab their suitcases, laptops and rucksacks.

Not only have these idiots crashed their aeroplane, they are now blaming the passengers for escaping with their live and valuables

It takes a special kind of moron to cheer this rubbish news.

The only 'special' people I see are the crew of the Emirates airlines who think they did a favour to the passengers by allowing them to escape the aircraft.
