Passengers on an Air India flight from Delhi to Chicago were shocked to find the entire cabin crew asleep in business class during the 18-hour journey.
According to reports, there was no service for a long stretch of the flight, and passengers were left confused and unattended. Eventually, some of them got up to look for the crew, only to discover that all the members were asleep at the same time.
While it is normal for cabin crew to take rest breaks on such long flights, aviation safety rules clearly say that not all crew members should be asleep together. At least some must stay awake to look after passengers and handle any emergencies that may come up during the flight.
This incident has raised serious concerns about safety and service quality. It has also added to the growing criticism Air India has faced since it was privatized. Passengers are already unhappy with delays, poor in-flight service, and other issues. This latest event has only added to those complaints.
Air India has not yet released an official explanation, but people are demanding answers. Many believe this shows a lack of training, discipline, and proper management among the airline staff. Some are even questioning whether Air India is doing enough to maintain international standards.
For now, the incident serves as a warning about the importance of following safety guidelines, no matter how long or tiring the flight is. Passengers deserve to feel safe and well taken care of, especially on long-haul flights like this one.
Further investigation is expected, and authorities may take action to ensure such incidents do not happen again in the future.
