Supriya Sule Criticizes Air India for Persistent Flight Delays

The NCP MP's comments about her delayed flight have reignited calls for stricter regulations and better accountability for airlines.

Supriya Sule, NCP MP, criticized Air India after her flight AI0508 was delayed by 1 hour and 19 minutes, calling it part of a 'continuous trend' of delays.
She emphasized the frustration of passengers paying premium fares while enduring frequent delays and subpar service.
Sule urged Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu to introduce stricter regulations to hold airlines accountable for operational inefficiencies.
Air India acknowledged the delay, attributing it to 'operational issues' beyond their control, and apologized for the inconvenience caused.
This incident follows previous complaints about Air India's service quality, including Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan's criticism of defective seating last month.
