A passenger has gone viral on X, formerly Twitter, following his intensive criticism of Air India.

Man advises Air India to shut down

The post, shared by OfficeOfDGP, captured a photo of the aircraft's alleged interior, showing broken seats and dirty covers.

In his message, the passenger expressed his frustration, saying:

"Air India, stop taking people for granted. You need to shut down for few weeks and fix the basics. Broken seats, dirty covers and a lot more. Don't ask me flight number; story is same in every aircraft."

His lamentation comes days after Air India flight AI171 was involved in a fatal crash that killed 241 people on board.

Reactions to criticism of Air India plane

Netizens stormed the comments section to react to the post.

Memes X said:

"Using cloth based seats gets dirty and occupied with germs so easily. Can they use leather or any alternatives for aircraft seats?"

Sharma said:

"If u don't have a lock in ur luggage and ask for a plastic strip zip cable, air India mumbai ground staff say it's discontinued for six months. Let the goods go to cargo hold unlocked. Same air India has it in Bangalore or hyderabad. Lesson: no standardization. Bhai basic!!??"

Dharamvir said:

"The upholstery & tit bit repair is possible by good planning. Start with 400 odd seats, well furnished & complete the job swiftly at two three major airports. Without shutting, such a job can be accomplished. Only thing is we require positive attitude & Can do teams."

Nitin Agarwal reacted:

"Not only seats one common issue is our heating system not working, no tea or coffee in a long international flight. They have made joke and just enjoying the monopoly."

Dhairya said:

"International flights specially the vistara rebranding aircrafts are having nice new blue leather cover and clean seats of AirIndiaX."

Sanjay said:

"They inherited all this crapp. It might take some time to sort out the shiit. Passenger safety should be the primary goal followed by comfort as of now. My views."

Satvam added:

"The TATAS were supposed to corn this shitt but appears they are making it even worse day by day. Just passing the blame that they inherited a mess, how long will this CRAPP work?"

Ex-flight attendant reacts to air crash

A former flight attendant known as @shikohthande on TikTok talked about the training cabin crew go through for the job.

She said that offering service to passengers on a plane is an important part of their work.

In her words:

"The Air India crash has left me so sad as an ex-cabin crew and I have felt the need to tell you what cabin crew and pilots go through on every flight. Waking up in different countries, as much as it is a privilege, we take it as a miracle and God's blessing. We undergo extensive training on safety for passengers. Service experience is the most important thing on a flight, but for a cabin crew, safety comes first and overrides everything."

She also spoke about how cabin crew handle emergencies:

"In case of an emergency, as much as we never know what nature and destiny holds for us, we are still trained on what we can do to save lives."
