DELHI- The Air India (AI) Boeing 787 Dreamliner flight from Delhi to London Gatwick Airport (LGW) recently experienced a cabin leak, drawing significant attention and prompting concerns regarding aviation safety.

Cabin leaks, though infrequent, can be attributed to various factors, with condensation often emerging as the primary culprit. Condensation occurs when there is a significant temperature difference between the aircraft’s interior and the external atmosphere, accumulating moisture.
This accumulated moisture can eventually transform into water droplets, resulting in leaks within the cabin.

While airlines typically have protocols in place to manage such situations, they can understandably provoke concern among passengers.
In the case of the Air India incident, the crew members were observed diligently addressing the situation, diverting attention from passengers’ worries and ensuring their safety.
The footage, shared by an individual with the handle @baldwhiner on X, showcases continuous water dripping from overhead bins onto passengers’ seats.
This post circulated on November 29, has garnered over six lakh views, nearly 5,000 likes, and numerous comments.
One user commented, “Perhaps some passengers left filled water bottles in their cabin luggage, possibly causing this. That’s why they advise us to keep water bottles with us. It might not solely be the company’s fault.
Water Leak Raises Concerns
Air India, India’s national carrier, is once again in the spotlight due to a water leak incident during a flight from Amritsar to London. This occurrence and past safety and service issues have prompted doubts about the airline’s dedication to passenger safety and operational efficiency.
The recent water leak, causing water to drip from overhead compartments, stirred anxiety among passengers and triggered inquiries into Air India’s fleet maintenance. This event recalls a 2018 incident when an improperly secured door on an Air India plane led to an emergency landing.
These incidents and the discovery of a rat on board an Air India plane in 2021 cast doubt on the airline’s hygiene standards and overall service quality. Such occurrences can potentially undermine passenger confidence and tarnish an airline’s reputation.
