“Following public outrage over a viral video showing Air India SATS (AISATS) senior officials celebrating at an office party in Gurugram shortly after the Ahmedabad plane crash that claimed 270 lives, AISATS has terminated four senior executives, including COO Abraham Zachariah. The incident, widely condemned as insensitive and disrespectful to the victims and their families, occurred while many bodies were still unidentified and funeral rites pending. AISATS, a joint venture between Air India Limited and SATS Limited, expressed regret over the emotional distress caused but faced sustained criticism amid ongoing investigations into the crash and scrutiny of its operational role.”
