Nationalist Congress Party (Sharad Pawar) Member of Parliament (MP) Supriya Sule on Monday slammed Air India for the prolonged delay of AI2971 Delhi-Pune flight, and also accused the national carrier of poor service, lack of communication, and rising instances of passenger inconvenience on the airline.

In a post on social media platform X, Sule posted: “Travelling from Delhi to Pune on @airindia flight AI 2971. The flight is delayed by over 3 hours — no clear communication, no updates, no assistance and very bad service. Such delays and mismanagement are becoming a norm with @airindia. Passengers are left stranded and helpless. This apathy is unacceptable. Urging @RamMNK, @MoCA_GoI to intervene and hold the airline accountable. Travellers deserve better.”
