An Indian couple got wed in mid-air after presumably chartering an airplane for 170 visitors to ‘escape Covid restrictions’.
India’s air travel authority has actually introduced an examination after video footage appeared to reveal a big crowd of maskless individuals loaded onto a SpiceJet aircraft.
The Boeing 737 is stated to have actually triggered from Madurai, Tamil Nadu, where wedding events are restricted to 50 visitors amidst a terrible 2nd wave of coronavirus.
The exchange of pledges apparently happened straight above the Madurai Meenakshi Amman Temple where the couple had actually initially prepared to wed.
The set was knocked after pictures of their ‘restriction flouting’ wedding event went viral on social networks.
Airport authorities stated they were ‘totally unaware about the marriage ceremony which took place mid-air’.
A SpiceJet representative informed the Indian Express the aircraft was reserved from Madurai to Bangalore by a travel representative for a journey after a wedding event.
They stated the couple were completely informed about the Covid procedures and informed to follow the guidelines.
A declaration included: ‘However, despite repeated requests the guests did not follow the guidelines. The airline is taking action as per the rules laid.’
