Air India passenger eats a cockroach-filled omelette during a 16-hour flight

A traveler recently called Air India after she reportedly found a cockroach in her in-flight meal earlier this month.

Suyesha Savant, who flew from Delhi to New York on September 17, wrote about her unpleasant experience on X earlier this week.

“I found a cockroach in the omelet I was served on the @airindia flight from Delhi to New York,” the mother wrote in the post on Friday. “My 2-year-old was more than halfway through it with me when we found this.”

“As a result, she suffered food poisoning,” she added. In the post, Savant published images that appear to show a dead cockroach lying in an omelet.

The mother, who works as a journalist in India, also shared a video she shot on the flight in which she talked about the dirt she encountered on the plane.

“Even the pockets of this seat were not clean and there were waste bottles in it and when I pointed this out to the staff they said it was a mistake,” the passenger said.
