New Delhi, June 17, 2024: An Air India passenger claimed he found a metal blade inside his in-flight meal from Bengaluru to San Francisco. Mathures Paul, a journalist, took to social media to share his ordeal aboard Air India AI 175 flight last week.

In his post, Mr Paul said that he was enjoying his in-flight meal of roasted sweet potato and fig chaat when he felt a piece of metal in his mouth. Upon inspecting it, he realised it was a metal blade

"Air India food can cut like a knife. Hiding in its roasted sweet potato and fig chaat was a metal piece that looked like a blade. I got a feel of it only after chewing the grub for a few seconds. Thankfully, no harm was done. Of course, the blame squarely lies with Air India’s catering service but the incident doesn’t help the image I have of Air India," he said, sharing an image of the bowl showing the metal blade next to the food.
