Why always Air India: Misinformation takes flight as airline meets turbulence

An Air India flight from Phuket injured 17 passengers due to turbulence, sparking a barrage of complaints on social media. Many claimed the airline was responsible, despite the reality that turbulence is an unpredictable weather phenomenon beyond airline control. While some demanded boycotts or criticized the airline's safety record, aviation experts explained that seat belt usage and crew response are crucial for passenger safety.

They emphasized that pilots and airlines cannot prevent turbulence, and modern aircraft can handle it. However, passengers must wear seat belts, especially during turbulence. The incident highlights the need for accurate information about air safety, as many social media users overlooked the uncontrollable nature of turbulence.
