New Delhi: Former Australia cricketer David Warner wasn’t a happy man as on Saturday, he boarded an Air India aircraft with no pilots in it. He waited for hours as his flight kept on getting delayed due to the absence of the crew members. This led him to blast the airline as he made a post on “X” (formerly Twitter) asking them why would they even board the passengers in such a scenario.
“@airindia we’ve boarded a plane with no pilots and waiting on the plane for hours. Why would you board passengers knowing that you have no pilots for the flight?” Warner wrote. He did not specify where he was headed to but didn’t shy away from voicing himself against the airline causing him discomfort.

The airline replied to Warner’s tweet a couple of hours later that weather-related disruptions at the Bengaluru airport led to the flight crew getting delayed. Accoring to their response, similar was the situation across all airlines.
“Dear Mr. Warner, today’s challenging weather in Bengaluru caused diversions and delays across all airlines. The crew operating your flight was held up on an earlier assignment affected by these disruptions, which led to a delay in departure. We appreciate your patience and thank you for choosing to fly with us,” Air India said in a post on X.
Air India’s repute
Any further details couldn’t be ascertained but it is understood that Warner is now one of the many complainants who have raised their grievances against the airline. On the internet, the airline doesn’t have a very good reputation as passengers ranging from common people to celebrities have slammed them for several reasons.
The reasons vary from the crew members denying any service to the most common problem of the flight getting delayed without any notice. This causes a ruckus at the airport and even inside the aircraft. Some instances also include soaring ticket prices, cancellation charges, and the complicated refund process. Very recently, a tourist from abroad had posted a video of himself travelling in an age-old Air India aircraft with worn out facilities inside.
