Anil Mehta, an Indian man, has sent a serious warning to Air India 22 days after its ill-fated plane crash in Ahmedabad, which claimed more than 250 lives, including 12 crew members.

Mehta, from Udaipur, India, warned that Air India needs to wake up and act fast.

Man's warning to Air India

In a Facebook post, he noted that IndiGo's business class might become a hard competitor to beat as it has nice seats, a neat plane and clean toilets.

He said the alternative airline will edge Air India on the domestic front once they have hot food.

He added that IndiGo has more professional and enthusiastic cabin crew than Air India. Anil wrote on Facebook:

"Air India better wake up fast!! Indigo Biz class is going to be hard to beat as their network expands.

"Nice seats, neat plane, clean toilets. Once they have hot food they are clear winners on domestic for sure. And by and large their cabin crew is consistently much more enthusiastic and professional!!"

Air India issued warning days before crash

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported about how Air India was issued a 'safety' warning days before the deadly crash of flight AI-171.

Legit.ng learnt that the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) had reportedly warned Air India about safety protocol violations. DGCA's concerns followed inspections conducted in May, which showed that three Air India Airbus aircraft were operating with overdue mandatory checks on escape slides.

DGCA warned that aircraft failing to undergo mandatory inspections would have their airworthiness certificates considered suspended. Animesh Garg, deputy director of airworthiness, dispatched the warning notices to Air India's CEO Campbell Wilson and other senior officials. The aviation regulator criticised Air India's delayed response in addressing these concerns.
