Lizard ‘found’ on food tray of Air India’s In-Flight meal
A passenger claims to have found a lizard on his in-flight food tray that has resulted in major humiliation for India’s national flag carrier, Air India. The picture that appears to clearly show a lizard lying underneath a packed bread roll has since gone viral. However it is difficult to assess whether the creature is dead or alive or even real.

Air India has rubbished the claims and strongly denies that the reptile was discovered on board the flight from Delhi to London on Thursday. Taking on twitter to makes its clarifications, Air India’s official account tweeted that: ‘No such complaint has been received from any passenger on board the flight or at Air India office in LHR.‘
However according to a source the passenger was heard screaming and was visibly upset upon receiving the food tray. As reported in The Times of Inda, the source said:
‘A flight attendant got the said meal from the galley and soon after it was placed on to the tray, the passenger was heard screaming.’
The state run carrier is now investigating the incident as ‘mischievous propaganda’.
The bottom line for the state run carrier has been in the red since 2007. Even though Air India has recently started making an effort to improve its image and launched campaigns to enhance it brand value, it has been marred by a string of technical glitches and other embarrassing incidents, including staff turning up late for flights.
In April, the airline made headlines when it had to ground two of its pilots after a fight erupted between the pair just before take-off. [Daily Mail]
