One of the worst airline experiences a passenger could ever endure! Akasa Air has left me utterly disappointed with its appalling service, unprofessional staff, and the unacceptable attitude of the supervisor at the counter today, 09/10/2026. The level of service was absolutely disgraceful, and the way passengers were treated was nothing short of infuriating. Based on this experience, I would strongly advise travellers to think twice before choosing this airline. Such a standard of service should never be accepted or encouraged. Today, due to an alleged technical issue with an aircraft, a flight scheduled to land at Calicut International Airport was reportedly diverted to Bangalore. Passengers were left without proper information, clear communication, or adequate assistance, leaving them stranded and confused. Meanwhile, passengers travelling from Calicut to Jeddah were informed of a delay and were not permitted to board. The explanation provided was that an ongoing war or security situation in Saudi Arabia was affecting operations at Jeddah Airport, and that refunds would be processed within seven days. But where is the clarity, accountability, and basic consideration for passengers? What makes this situation even more frustrating is the complete lack of satisfactory explanations. How exactly does the situation in Saudi Arabia explain the diversion of an aircraft that was scheduled to land in Calicut? If these were separate operational issues, why were passengers not given clear, consistent, and transparent explanations? Families travelling with infants and young children, as well as passengers facing visa deadlines and other time-sensitive commitments, were left stranded and distressed. These are not minor inconveniences. They can have serious financial, personal, and emotional consequences. Passengers deserve more than vague explanations, delayed refunds, and an apparent lack of concern from the people responsible for assisting them. An airline’s responsibility does not end when a flight is delayed, diverted, or cancelled. That is precisely when passengers need communication, accountability, and proper assistance the most. I find this entire experience deeply disappointing and unacceptable. The lack of professionalism, the poor handling of the situation, and the failure to provide convincing explanations have seriously undermined my confidence in Akasa Air. Is this what passengers should expect from an airline they trust with their time, money, and safety? Akasa Air owes its affected passengers a clear explanation, a sincere apology, and appropriate assistance—not confusing answers and a promise of a refund within seven days. Until airlines learn to treat passengers with the respect, transparency, and responsibility they deserve, such experiences will continue to damage public trust. I sincerely hope the airline takes this complaint seriously and addresses these failures instead of allowing passengers to suffer the consequences of its poor communication and service.
