IndiGo’s female passengers will now be able to check which seats are pre-booked by other female passengers at the time of web check-in. The feature will help female passengers to select their seats accordingly.
The decision comes after multiple incidents of female passengers getting harassed onboard went viral in 2023. Last year in January, a shocking incident was reported on an Air India flight, where a male passenger urinated on a fellow female flyer.
In another incident during the Mumbai-Guwahati IndiGo flight in September 2023, a lady was groped by her male co-passenger on board.
This decision is a step towards providing a safe space for women.
