‘Stale’ bread served on Air India flight

In an Air India flight from Visakhapatnam to Delhi, bread having fungus was served to some of the passengers in breakfast. Passengers claimed that crew members even declined to provide them the complaint book.

“I was traveling with some of my friends from Visakhapatnam to Delhi by Air India flight (AI -452) on Saturday morning. Shockingly fungus in bread was served to us in breakfast. We raised the alarm and informed the crew members about the unhygienic food. Also asked them to bring us the compliant book. We were surprised to see that the crew members did not inform other passengers and denied to provide the complaint book,” said a senior journalist on the condition of anonymity. “I lodged a written complain to concerned authorities to look in to this matter” he added.

Meanwhile another senior journalist Jaishankar Gupta narrated the incident in his social site wall. “Finally we have reached Delhi back from Visakhapatnam safe and sound, however the Air India service was very poor and we had to suffer a lot. We were served bread having fungus for breakfast, we might have fallen sick. This is not my personal experience but of every journalist who was returning to Delhi from Visakhapatnam after attending a three-day BRICS Urbanisation Forum Meet.”

He added: “We were not told that which company was catering the food. When we complained to the airhostess, she asked us not to eat the bread. We were even denied feedback form.”

Despite several attempts made to get their side of story, Air India was not available for comment.
