Air India Statement: 

We are deeply anguished by an unlawful incident of intrusion at a hotel, operated by a major international chain that affected one of our own. At Air India, we are as concerned about this incident as all of you are.

We are providing all possible support to our colleague and the broader team, including professional counselling. Air India is also working with the local police and will pursue the matter to the fullest extent of the law.

We constantly review travel and stay arrangements, made at reputed international hotel chains, based on feedback of our employees and internal review to ensure the safety and comfort of employees. In this particular instance, we have taken immediate measures and decided to move our colleagues to another hotel.

We have reached out to the management of the current hotel to ensure the security of colleagues staying there. We have been given an assurance that there will be no compromise to safety and security till such time our colleagues are relocated to another hotel.

Our team in London is actively monitoring the safety aspects and will be available for any support during this period.

Air India accords foremost priority to the safety, security and wellbeing of all employees who travel on duty.

We request that the privacy of those involved is respected. Requesting all to refrain and use their judgement towards speculation on social media posts.
