Ms. Sule took to X (formerly Twitter) last night, highlighting the plight of travelers affected by these repeated delays. “Air India flights are endlessly delayed—this is unacceptable! We pay premium fares, yet flights are never on time. Professionals, children, and senior citizens are all suffering. Urging the Civil Aviation Minister to take action and hold Air India accountable,” she wrote.

Citing her own experience, Ms. Sule pointed out that her Air India flight AI0508 was delayed by 1 hour and 19 minutes, a delay she described as part of an ongoing pattern. “This isn’t a one-time incident. Air India’s frequent delays have become a norm rather than an exception. I urge Hon’ble Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu to implement stricter regulations and ensure better service standards for passengers,” she added.

In response, Air India acknowledged the inconvenience but attributed the delay to operational issues beyond their control. “Dear Ma’am, we recognize that delays can be frustrating. However, occasional operational challenges can impact flight schedules. Your flight to Mumbai was delayed by one hour due to such an issue. We appreciate your understanding,” the airline replied.
While Air India attempted to clarify the situation, Ms. Sule’s remarks have reignited the debate on airline accountability in India. With growing frustration among passengers, will the Civil Aviation Ministry step in to address these recurring delays? Only time will tell.
