The politician was affected by a knee harm

Actor-politician Khushbu Sundar not too long ago took to Twitter to hit out at Air India claiming that she was made to attend for a wheelchair on the Chennai airport. Ms Sundar in her submit tagged the airline to flag the difficulty.

The politician who’s affected by a ligament tear needed to await half an hour on the airport. In her submit, she wrote, “Dear @airindiain you do not have basic wheelchair to take a passenger with a knee injury. I had to wait for 30mnts at chennai airport with braces for my ligament tear before they could get a wheelchair borrowed from another airline to take me in. I am sure you can do better.”

The airline apologised to Ms Sundar for the inconvenience brought on. “Dear Ma’am, we’re extremely sorry to know about your experience with us. We’re taking this up immediately with our Chennai airport team,” the airline tweeted.

Dear @airindiain you do not need fundamental wheelchair to take a passenger with a knee harm. I needed to await 30mnts at chennai airport with braces for my ligament tear earlier than they might get a wheelchair borrowed from one other airline to take me in. I’m positive you are able to do higher.
