The representative said, “Being an Air India employee, volunteering to assist pax travelling on our Airline is our responsibility.” The boy also booked the AI flight BOM/HYD/BOM on 2.1.2023 without her knowledge. “My niece approached me with the news that his friend wants to propose to his soon-to-be fiancée inside the aircraft who was travelling on Air India LHR/HYD/BOM,” she said.
Despite being pre-planned, the proposal only required minimal red tape, the official explained.
“I only coordinated with the crew, and our CC Jayesh Shirpurkar and Grita Tawde made it happen smoothly and without disturbing passengers.”
After a string of shocking flight incidents brought Air India under intense scrutiny from regulators, it was a sight for sore eyes for the crew.
