LUCKNOW, India 30 December 2018: Passengers travelling from Dubai to Lucknow by Air India Express flight on Saturday were in for a shock when a male passenger stripped mid-air and started walking down the aisle nude, said reports.

The aircraft crew swung into action and wrapped him in a blanket, sources in the airline told ANI, according to NDTV.
