Actress Nora Fatehi is facing a Rs 3 crore defamation case filed by Dunes Aviation in a Gandhinagar court.
The company acted after Fatehi shared videos from a chartered flight on social media in December last year.
She allegedly described the aircraft as a “miniature,” “toy,” and “Lego airplane,” which the company says were insulting and damaging.
Dunes Aviation claims that her comments were reckless and made without technical knowledge or checking facts.
The company says the posts reached millions of followers and harmed its reputation, goodwill, and business.
It has alleged that bookings dropped by 15 to 20 per cent and cancellations increased after the controversy.
The aviation company says the Cessna Citation CJ2 used for the Mumbai-Jaipur trip was a standard, safe, and properly certified aircraft. It was operated legally under a valid permit.
Dunes Aviation is seeking Rs 3 crore in damages, removal of the posts, and a clarification from Fatehi. The matter is expected to be heard on September 25.
