The passenger claimed that she was in excruciating pain and that she screamed and cried for help. After a while, a physician on the plane offered assistance, she said.
A passenger onboard a Delhi-San Francisco Air India flight earlier this month suffered burn injuries after a cabin crew member accidentally spilled coffee on her. The airline has apologised for the incident.
The passenger took to social media to narrate her experience, saying "Air India delivered a distressing experience that took a harrowing turn when flight attendant spilled hot water on my leg".
"I was travelling from New Delhi to SFO on Flight AI 173 with my 4-year-old son and 83-year-old mother-in-law. The flight lasted approximately 16 hours, and it was nothing short of a nightmare," the passenger said in a long thread posted on social media platform X on September 27.
