Shergill, who is also a Supreme Court Lawyer and holds a private pilot license, took to X to share his disappointment with the airlines. "If there was an Oscar equivalent for worst airlines would win hands down in every category: Broken seats, worst staff, pathetic “on ground” support staff, give two hoots attitude about customer service! Flying Air India is not a pleasant experience but today broke all records!" he wrote.

This comes days after Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan complained about being alloted a broken seat on an Air India plane. "I had booked a ticket on Air India flight number AI436, I was allotted seat number 8C. I went and sat on the seat, the seat was broken and sunken in. It was uncomfortable to sit. When I asked the airline staff why the seat was allotted to me if it was bad, they told me that the management had been informed earlier that this seat was not good and its ticket should not be sold," he wrote in a post on X.
