The champion shuttler added, \u201cSorry to say ..i had a very bad experience??when i was flying by 6E 608 flight to bombay on 4th nov the ground staff by name Mr ajeetesh.\u201d<\/p>\n

The airline issued a prompt response and backed its employee for \u201ckeeping calm\u201d, saying the staff was only doing his job.<\/p>\n

\u201cMs PV Sindhu boarded flight 6E608 Hyderabad-Mumbai last carrying oversized baggage which was not fitting into the overhead bin. Ms Sindhu was informed that it will be moved to cargo hold of the aircraft. This is the same policy we follow for all customers,\u201d the airline said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Sindhu’s father, who was also travelling with her, said the ground staff was at fault.<\/p>\n

Sindhu is one of the country\u2019s most decorated sportspersons having won an Olympic silver medal besides bagging three World Championship medals<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The airline further said while it was proud of Sindhu\u2019s sporting achievements, safety of the passengers was of paramount importance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
