A quirky incident onboard an IndiGo flight has gone viral, with passengers seen serving tea at 36,000 feet, mimicking the tea vendors often seen on Indian trains. In a video circulating on Instagram, two men can be seen walking down the aisle, pouring tea from a bottle into disposable cups and handing it out to fellow passengers, including a seated woman. The scene quickly garnered attention, with over 400,000 views within 24 hours.
Social media reactions to the unusual sight were varied. Some users found humor in the moment, joking about other vendors like “mung phali wala chaat masala” potentially making their way onto flights. However, others expressed concern and disappointment, criticizing the lack of professionalism. One commenter even questioned the role of the cabin crew and security personnel, sarcastically asking, “What are the cabin crew and security staff even doing?”
This incident adds to a series of recent controversies involving airlines, raising questions about passenger safety and service standards. In another notable case, IndiGo faced backlash after Trisha Shetty, founder of SheSays, accused the airline of failing to help her mother after she was allegedly robbed during a flight.
Additionally, actor Shamita Shetty accused IndiGo of offloading her luggage due to weight issues, claiming she wasn’t informed beforehand. These incidents continue to highlight concerns surrounding the airline industry’s handling of customer service and operational procedures.
