In the next few lines, he added, “Never and I mean it with all seriousness – I am never flying Air India Express or Air India in my life again – I will pay 100% extra cost if needed but will take other airlines that are on time (only 2 other airline options anyways).” “Will take a bullock cart but not your airline,” he stressed. Kondawar then shared the reason behind it. He shared that his flight was late, and claimed that it was stinking and that the seats were dirty with stains on it. He said that his flight, which was scheduled for 9:50 pm, took off at around 12:15 am. “The flight was stinking and the seats were so dirty and full of stains.” He also shared that he reached home at 3 am after “sitting through multiple management interactions”. Kondawar further said that he has “immense respect for the Tata Group and its leaders”, adding that he “expects perfection from them always” and that “this was a disaster”.
