The passenger, identified as Savant, posted a video clip and photos of the cockroach stuck inside the omelette she had ordered for herself and her two-year-old daughter. Savant revealed that the incident occurred shortly after the start of their 15-hour journey, saying, “We had barely started our 15-hour journey when I discovered a cockroach in my first breakfast meal.”

What made matters worse was that she had already fed the same meal to her young child, leaving her feeling sick to her stomach.

According to Savant, both she and her daughter suffered from food poisoning after consuming the contaminated meal. This unfortunate experience has made her family reconsider flying with air india in the future. “We’ve always stuck with air india refurbishment despite its issues, but this was too much. Now, we’re dreading our return flight,” she expressed.

In response, Air India acknowledged the incident and stated that they are taking the matter seriously. A spokesperson for the airline commented, “We are aware of a social media post by a passenger regarding a foreign object in the onboard meal offered to them on AI-101 operating from DEL to JFK on 17 September 2024.

We are concerned about the customer’s experience and have taken up the matter with our catering service provider for further investigation. Necessary actions will be taken to prevent such instances in the future.”

This incident has raised concerns about in-flight meal safety and hygiene, leaving many travelers questioning the quality standards maintained by airlines.
