SHOCKING!” Ayush Kejriwal wrote on the social networking site while narrating the entire episode in a video.Describing the incident as “distressing”, he said that despite having requested an assisted travel plan for his mother, Vistara failed to provide the necessary assistance when required.”Once the flight reached its destination, all passengers disembarked, inadvertently leaving the lady behind. Fortunately, a diligent cleaning staff member from the airline heard her cries and promptly alerted others, leading to her safe removal from the aircraft,” he alleged in the video.The airline has issued an apology for the matter in the reply to the post.”Hi Ayush, we deeply regret to learn about your recent experience with us. At Vistara, we hold ourselves to the highest service standards, and it upsets us to hear that we fell short of your expectations.
