Reactions to Air India fire incident
@thegeo_sync said:
"This is concerning. APU fires aren’t a minor issue, especially when they happen at the gate post-landing. Thankfully no one was hurt but how often are these safety systems being checked? Can @airindia confirm what your maintenance team is doing now? Clearly, something is not right passenger safety must come before all else. Is this an isolated event or part of a larger maintenance gap?"
@GhostRiderPOTUS said:
"Glad everyone all safe, but the board really needs to see Campbell is the right CEO for the airline and as it’s now not going where he has planned. Just a thought and you can do better with the right person at the helm and who doesn’t just care about profits."
@Kothar1Harsh said:
"Some major overhauling needs to be done to restore the brand image folks!! Think long term and plan it."
@thanixravindran said:
"Is this also Boeing? I just read checks are completed in Boeings. Or is it limited to Fuel switches alone?"
@AnantNowlakha said:
"There isn’t a single day that goes by without some incident taking place in AI. In interest of the general public y’all should ground the company."
