Ahmedabad: Calling a business jet “a toy plane” and “Lego plane” didn’t fly with an aviation company, which has now dragged Bollywood actress Nora Fatehi to court. In a suit filed in a Gandhinagar civil court, Dunes Aviation has sought Rs 3 crore from her in damages for her “reckless” and “derogatory” statements.
The company said that Fatehi and her team travelled in its Cessna Citation CJ2, bearing call sign VT-NDA, from Mumbai to Jaipur on Dec 14, 2025.
In one of the videos posted to her account, she said, “It’s a toy; this is what we get when you order an airplane from Amazon”, according to the suit. The actress made multiple statements questioning the safety of the chartered aeroplane without actual technical knowledge regarding aviation safety, it said. It further stated that the aircraft completed the said flight from Mumbai to Jaipur safely, which irrefutably demonstrates the falsity and recklessness of Fatehi’s public insinuations. The company said it offers premium services of customisable charter aeroplanes to high-end clients and operates in compliance with the provisions, regulations, circulars, manuals and safety directives issued by Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) and other competent authorities. The statements published by the actress have tainted its reputation, the company said in the suit.
She recorded multiple videos and posted them on her verified Instagram account in story format. The company has taken exception to three videos posted by Fatehi, in which she described the plane as some toy plane or Lego plane. The company stated that the CJ2 is an industry-standard plane categorised as a business jet and is used for short- to medium-range travel.
