On most airlines, food is served in low light conditions!” Another X user, Ramy Sam, said, “They need to start replacing the employees who were there prior to the merger and replace it with new recruits. I was glad when Tata took over, but the old-timers in Air India need to be removed to build a better and new Air India.” A third commented, “Nowadays – be it airlines, railway catering or food served in hostels, noon meals in schools, are with foreign material, resulting in vomiting, food poisoning. Tendering an apology is not the solution to this recurrence. Unhygienic surroundings with poor ventilation.” “Omg, this is not acceptable from the @airindia team, seems like things are going the same as they used to be before the merger. No improvement @fssaiindia @dgca @airindia, please investigate!” added user Ratul Ghosh.
