Following comedian Kunal Kamra heckling news anchor Arnab Goswami on Lucknow-bound Indigo flight and the subsequent bans placed on him by four airlines, Kamra maintained that Vistara and Air Asia had not put him on their no-fly list. He also took to social media, on February 2, beaming and set to board a Vistara flight. Kamra also received overwhelming support on social media and offline and some of it translated to praise for the airlines in letting him fly.

Kamra went on to challenge the Indigo fly ban at the Delhi High Court, a plea that was disposed. However, Indigo's internal committee went on to reduce the ban by three months on February 28.
