India Today  

Nationalist Congress Party leader Supriya Sule blasted Air India on Saturday for being “endlessly delayed.” Tagging Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu in her post on X, she criticised the airline's “continuous trend of delays,” calling it “unacceptable.” “I was travelling on Air India flight AI0508, which was delayed by 1 hour and 19 minutes — part of a continuous trend of delays affecting passengers. Urging Hon’ble Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu to enforce stricter regulations to hold airlines like Air India accountable for repeated delays and ensure better service standards for passengers,” she said in a post on X.
