Daijiworld Media Network - Mumbai (MS)

Mumbai, Feb 5: In a shameful incident that occurred three days ago on one of the flights of Air India, a dead cockroach was found in the meal of a passenger.

The said flight was flying from Bhopal to Mumbai on Saturday, February 2. Manoj Khandekar, one of the passengers on the flight found a dead cockroach in the in-flight meal that was served to him. Shocked and enraged, Khandekar acted immediately and posted the same on his Twitter account.

 



In response to Khandekar's Tweet, Air India apologized through a tweet in which the airline said, "We sincerely apologise for the incident where our valued pax (passenger) had a disappointing experience with the meal served onboard our Bhopal-Mumbai flight. Air India always endeavours to ensure our pax enjoy our services."

    Air India should stop serving food for free on flight like most of Airlines now... They should charge & supply quality food...

    If there were Chinese passengers there would have been stamped inside flight for the meal as there was only one box prepared.!!

    Passenger on this Air India flight luckily noticed a cockroach in his in-flight meal. This particular cockroach must be full of Vitamin CH.

    While Air India is under loss, serving something extra and so special without being ordered is not a good economy.

    People,

    In Korea and China Cockroach and Dog meal is delicacy....

    Air India must have prepared the meal for Beijing flight....accidentally supplied to Bhopal-Bombay route...

    This could be a Good Advertisement for Air-India in China...

    Cynthi,

    You have any nice cockroaches in Kirem / Kinnigoli area...if yes, let me know, we can supply them to China and Korea and get more foreign exchange...

    By the way did you buy Dureen / Telescope fro Belman Santhe yesterday...or was it was just a Jumla like Modiji's 15 Lakh...

    ...Tak...Takk...

    @Langoo,Belman,it is not any jokes here.Take it seriously.Afterall you too might not find it a joke when you have it in your plate.Afterall I dont blame Air India for it.afterall it comes from caterers.In India it is normal cockroches are everywhere.Of course It shouldnt have happen.Hope it will not happen again caterers should be taken to task and they should pay compansation to the passenger.Best is change the caterer.Air India should have given a alternative food.sad it has happened to Air India which has enough burden on it.

    Rita,

    Its not a joke,,,,I am serious...Cockroaches and Dog meat are delicacy for Chinese and Koreans...

    Whats wrong if we export them to China and Korea to earn Foreign exchange...yesterday there was news Pakistan is exporting 800000 Donkeys to china for meat and skin...nothing wrong with it as well...in fact its better than export terrorists...

    You may not know...Pakistan is full of Donkeys Rita ....

    ...Tak...Takk...

    Mr. Langool....you may be able to get cockroaches in US itself (instead of sourcing them fro Belman). Because the y were originated from US and their biological name is "Periplaneta Americana".

    Food not prepared by air India..... but caterers shall be heavily penalized to avoid further problem and all airline team should periodically check the hygiene of catering place. Never know it may happen in other airlines as well.

    Tendering apology is not going to immune from their responsibility, further enquiry shall be conducted and if any negligence is found on the part of the staff or airfreight catering company then the stringent legal action shall be taken, which includes termination of employment or catering contract.

    You being a state owned airlines, shall also compensate all those passengers, who travelled on the day.

    These kind of experiences - delay, cancellation, near-accident,bad food etc - are a dily occurence for Air India. They should create a department just for sending apologies, hopefully better than "Sorry for the disaapointing experience of eating a cockroach on our royal plane".
