NEW DELHI: India's aviation regulator is concerned about several videos on popular Chinese video app TikTok that show flight crew singing and dancing while on duty, and has asked airlines to take action in the interest of passenger safety, a senior official told Reuters.

"We have issued instructions and told them these are unbecoming," a DGCA official said, adding that a letter had also been sent to airlines about such"theatrical performances" by crew members which could risk passenger safety. SpiceJet said in a statement on Friday that its crew is strictly prohibited from shooting pictures or videos on-board and it takes strict action against violators.AirAsia India said it ensures that its staff adheres to strict internal guidelines for social media usage.

Owned by China's ByteDance, TikTok is one of the world's most popular apps. It has become a sensation in India, where it has been downloaded by more than 350 million times, according to analytics firm Sensor Tower.
