On Thursday Air India a state-run carrier on a Delhi-London
flight was alleged had served a lizard in its flight meals.
It came to light when
a picture started circulating on social media showing the reptile's head poking
out from underneath a bun on a meal tray wrapped in cling film. It was not
clear if the animal was dead or alive.
However on Saturday, just hours after Air India said it was
investigating the incident, the airline dismissed the accusation as “false and
baseless”.
“We are denying any such incident. One because we do not
know the authenticity of the photograph and two… no passenger has lodged any
such complaint,” an airline spokesman told AFP on the condition of anonymity.
The state-run carrier, which has not reported an annual profit since 2007, has been hit by a string of technical glitches and other embarrassing incidents.
