Already late, Airline 'starves' its passengers

No food to be had for love or money as crew forgets to load it on board

The shocked passengers were on Friday's Jet Konnect Kolkata-Bangalore flight.

Late take-off

The aircraft was scheduled to take off at 6.15 am and was late by about half an hour. Soon after take-off on Friday morning, the crew allegedly apologised for not having any food on board. Jet Konnect is a budget airline where passengers have to buy their food.

"What about children and the ill, who need to eat on time?" wondered B T Seshadri (50), a senior executive who travelled by that flight.

He was among those banking on having breakfast on board, and was exhausted by the time he arrived at Bangalore.

Denial

However, the airline spokesperson said, "No such incident occurred. We have checked and there was adequate food and choice of meals."
