On the bans imposed by four airlines on Kamra, Kumar had said that it depends on the complaint received by the crew members travelling on the flight.

Kumar told HuffPost India that as per DGCA rules, in case of any unruly behaviour restricted to verbal confrontation, the airlines should first impose a temporary ban of 30 days on the passenger and conduct an internal enquiry headed by a retired judge into the incident.

The DGCA Chief further added, “Air India has been wise enough to impose a ban for an indefinite period and is awaiting the outcome of the enquiry report conducted by the airlines. In incidents restricted to verbal confrontation, a ban should not be more than three months”.
