IndiGo's revamped seating policy aims to make the travel experience more comfortable for female passengers by allowing them to avoid booking seats next to men.
The decision to allow women to avoid sitting next to men is influenced by previous instances of sexual harassment on airplanes, such as a case where a female passenger was groped by a man on an IndiGo flight.
In-flight sexual assault cases have been on the rise, with the FBI reporting 96 cases opened in 2023 involving American carriers, highlighting a trend of unruly passenger behavior with men often being the perpetrators.
