It seems Air India (AI) tried to redeem itself after being named third worst in terms of on-time performance. Also, Air India has called the data “fabricated”, promising to get to the bottom of the matter.
Its spokesperson said,
“We totally disagree with the report published by an agency about Air India. Initially it seems that the report is fabricated, so Air India management will investigate the report till the end“.
But, this did not go well with some section of people on twitter, they slammed Air India for its poor performance and service. They even went to comment on its timings and delays.
See how Twitterati reacted on its tweet:
16 hours plus delays and passengers made to wait in airplane? Zero professionalism
