Days after a metal blade was found in a meal served on an Air India flight, a passenger travelling from Cochin to Dubai via the airline experienced an unpleasant surprise when he discovered an insect in his dessert.

On discovering the insect, the flier, Tomy Frank, informed the cabin crew. “They immediately apologised for the incident and replaced the dessert. What I am really curious about is how did the insect end up in the dessert. I had read reports about a blade being found in an Air India in-flight meal a few days back and now this. How are we supposed to have faith that food served by the airline is fit to eat?” said Frank, who posted about his experience on X on Friday morning.
