Mumbai: A Mumbai resident has complained to Qatar Airways and is mulling legal action after his head was scalded when a stewardess accidentally dropped a flask full of hot coffee on his head during a flight to Berlin last week.
Manohar Suvarna, an engineering and development head of a city-based multinational engineering company, said the airline's on board first aid and treatment were inadequate.
Suvarna, who was flying Qatar Airlines flight QR 557 from Mumbai to Berlin with a brief stopover in Doha on November 11, said the burn ointment the crew applied had no effect, and the on-board paramedics merely applied a band-aid to the wound.
Suvarna later lodged a formal complaint with the airline, a copy of which is with Mirror. He is also consulting a lawyer about further action. While local Qatar Airways officials in Mumbai declined to comment, an email sent to the spokesperson at their headquarters in Doha remained unanswered.
