The Air India’s Boeing 787 crash on June 12 killed 270 persons, including 241 passengers and crew.

The video of the party that was held in AISATS corporate office in Delhi drew ire after it went viral on social media and users criticised AISATS for insensitivity.

AISATS is a 50:50 joint venture of Air India and Singapore based SATS.

“We stand in solidarity with the families affected by the tragic loss of AI 171 and deeply regret the lapse in judgment reflected in a recent internal video. The behaviour does not align with our values, and firm disciplinary action has been taken against those responsible as we reaffirm our commitment to empathy, professionalism and accountability, “ AISATS said in a statement.
