Friends at @airindia, captain now tells us two tyres the flight are being changed while we sit in it on thr tarmac for 'legal purposes'. Tyre puncture! Another announcement: then, security guards will come to check boarding cards and hand baggage while we sit stuck in flight, yet again. Super fun ride. So now another forty minutes to repair, another half hour after to fly after. For a two and a half hour flight at least 3-4 hours now in tarmac. Steward comes and says to another passenger, you have an option. We deplane you, you take another flight instead. So sweet, I tell you. Some promise that breakfast will be served in the airplane-shaped tarmac prison to assuage poor incarcerated souls. Again, reminded me of Vijay Super repair uncle, who offered tea each day so sweetly that he didn't fix the scooter.
Heard in the Corridors 👂 After an intense hour-long ATF meeting between airlines and the government, one airline owner quipped: “Everyone in aviation seems to be making money… except the airlines flying the planes.”
