Manisha Singhal, an aviation expert, recently took to social media to express her dismay over the conditions experienced by Air India's cabin crew during layovers. She highlighted instances where crew members were left hunting for suitable hotel rooms for hours after a flight, only to find accommodations that lacked basic amenities such as bedsheets and towels. Such conditions, she argued, do not befit a world-class airline striving to uphold standards of comfort and professionalism.
The Tweet Beyond the inconvenience of shabby accommodations, Singhal emphasized the impact on crew morale and passenger experience. A fatigued and shabbily treated cabin crew is more likely to carry a grudge that could manifest in subtle ways during flights. This, in turn, could affect the quality of service and the overall experience of passengers, who rely on the professionalism and attentiveness of the crew throughout their journey.
Again. Again. Yet Again!!! @airindia if you want to be a world class airline, you do not treat your fatigued crew , on a scheduled layover flight this way .
You simply DO NOT. Hunting / wrestling for hotel rooms for four hours after a flight- and this is what is ‘offered’! No..
