Air India’s decision came shortly after civil aviation minister Hardeep Singh Puri said in a tweet that Kamra’s behaviour was “totally unacceptable”.
Offensive behaviour designed to provoke & create disturbance inside an aircraft is absolutely unacceptable & endangers safety of air travellers.
We are left with no option but to advise other airlines to impose similar restrictions on the person concerned. https://t.co/UHKKZfdTVS

The video showing Kamra confronting the TV anchor prompted swift action from IndiGo, the airline on which the incident took place, which has barred him for travelling for six months, terming his conduct onboard ‘unacceptable behaviour’.
