Mumbai: Hours before the Ahmedabad-London Air India flight involving a state-of-the-art Dreamliner crashed, an entrepreneur Akash Vatsa who flew in the same airliner from Delhi to Ahmedabad, reported issues.
Vatsa, who flew the flight AI171 Delhi-Ahmedabad, has posted on X, the issues that he faced in the airplane.
“I was in the same damn flight 2 hours before it took off from AMD. I came in this from DEL-AMD. Noticed unusual things in the plane,” he wrote on X.
The post, in which he has attached one photo and three videos, has gone viral in the social media.
According to his claim, passengers were using the magazines kept in seat pockets as the air conditioning was not working.
However, the photos/videos could not be independently checked.
Aviation experts said that the accident and the issues flagged there by the passenger may not be related at all.
