An Air India passenger has complained of finding a cockroach in an omelette served onboard the flight from the national capital to New York, with the airline saying the matter has been taken up with the catering service provider for further investigation.

In a post on X, the passenger said a cockroach was found in the omelette served on the flight from Delhi to New York.

“My 2-year-old finished more than half of it with me when we found this. Suffered from food poisoning as a result,” she said.

The passenger also shared a short video and pictures of the food items served during the flight.

She tagged Air India, aviation regulator DGCA and Civil Aviation Minister K Rammohan Naidu in the post.

In the statement, the spokesperson said the airline is concerned about the experience of the customer in the said instance and has taken it up with the catering service provider to investigate further.

“We will take necessary actions to prevent any recurrence of such instances in future,” the spokesperson said.
