Air India signs codeshare accord with largest Japanese carrier
Air India, India’s leading global airline, and All Nippon Airways, the largest Japanese carrier, have signed a codeshare agreement connecting their networks.
Air India on Tuesday cancelled Shiv Sena MP Ravindra Gaikwad’s ticket for the second time after he was barred by the airline for allegedly assaulting their staffer.
Gaikwad's Mumbai-Delhi ticket was cancelled for hitting AI staffer R Sukumar several times with his slippers over seating issue.
The tussle broke out after he was denied business class on a Pune-New Delhi on March 23.

The Sena leader was banned by AI and other top airlines with ‘immediate effect’ on March 24 and he boarded a train to Mumbai later in the evening.
Defiant Gaikwad refused to offer any apologies to the victim.
“Kaahe ka pashchaataap (what is there to repent)? I will not apologise. He (Sukumar) should come and apologise. Then we will see. A 60-year-old man should know how to behave,” Gaikwad had said.
