A recent incident involving an Air India passenger has sparked widespread attention on social media, highlighting the challenges of flight rescheduling and its impact on travelers.

The passenger, identified as @thekaipullai on social media, shared his frustration after missing his flight to Bangalore due to multiple rescheduling notifications from Air India. Initially scheduled for 9:00 am, the departure time was first revised to 11:45 am, prompting the passenger to adjust his plans accordingly. However, just before departure, he received another update shifting the flight to 9:25 am, causing him to miss the flight as he had already adjusted his departure based on the previous notification.

Expressing his disappointment in a tweet, the passenger questioned Air India’s handling of such changes, stating, “Why do you do this? Can’t you handle a simple domestic flight?”

The tweet quickly gained traction, accumulating over two lakh views and more than 2,400 likes, with many users sympathizing with the passenger’s plight. Comments poured in criticizing Air India’s handling of flight schedules, with one user remarking, “It’s almost like they’re doing their best to make you miss the flight.”

In response to the viral post, Air India acknowledged the incident and issued a public apology. “Dear Sir, Thank you for speaking with us. As we investigate the reasons for the change in departure times, we have provided you with the option of an alternate flight or a full refund. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused & look forward to serving you again,” the airline tweeted.

This incident underscores the challenges faced by airlines in managing flight schedules amidst operational constraints and passenger expectations. The episode also raises questions about communication protocols and customer service standards in the aviation industry.
