An Indian passenger alleged that the officials of a Chinese Eastern Airline misbehaved with the Indians at the Shanghai Pudong international airport. The Indian govt took up the matter with China after the incident came to light. However, the airlines refuted the allegations levelled against it.

After it came to the notice of the external affairs minister Sushma Swaraj, New Delhi took up the matter with the Shanghai Foreign Affairs Office of the Chinese foreign ministry and the Pudong airport authorities.

As per the Xinhua news agency, the airlines denied the allegations and said that after going through the related materials and checking the CCTV footage, it found nothing that can confirm the incident. In the statement issued by the Chinese Eastern Airline, it said, “Instead, the airlines employees offered meticulous service”. It also added that the airlines is dedicated to providing quality service to the passengers around the globe.
