Former Australia cricketer David Warner slammed Air India on Saturday after having to board an Air India flight without pilots, which caused hours of delay. After being forced to board an airplane without pilots, Warner and the other passengers had to wait for hours.
"We've boarded an aircraft without any pilots and have been waiting for hours. Given that you don't have any pilots for the aircraft, why would you still board passengers? Warner took to social media platform X to vent his frustration.
@airindia we’ve boarded a plane with no pilots and waiting on the plane for hours. Why would you board passengers knowing that you have no pilots for the flight?

"Departure was delayed because the crew running your flight was delayed on a previous assignment that was impacted by these problems. Thank you for choosing to fly with us, and we appreciate your patience," Air India said on X.
Dear Mr. Warner, today's challenging weather in Bengaluru caused diversions and delays across all airlines. The crew operating your flight was held up on an earlier assignment affected by these disruptions, which led to a delay in departure. We appreciate your patience and thank…
