Elderly Passenger Falls at Delhi Airport Due to Delayed Wheelchair, Air India Responds

In a shocking turn of events, an 82-year-old woman fell at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport, which led to serious concern among fellow passengers and the public. The airline responsible, Air India, explained that the delay in providing a wheelchair caused the incident. According to Air India, the wheelchair service was delayed because the staff was attending to passengers from a previous flight that arrived late.

The elderly woman, who was traveling on an international flight, had requested a wheelchair in advance. However, when the wheelchair failed to arrive on time, she attempted to walk on her own, which resulted in the unfortunate fall. Fellow travelers quickly assisted the woman and called for medical help. Airport medical personnel were on the scene in moments, and the woman was rushed to a nearby medical facility for further treatment.

Air India, in its official response, stated that the delay was caused by staffing shortages as a result of a late flight arrival. The airline assured the public that they are reviewing their internal procedures to prevent such incidents from occurring again. Although the airline expressed regret, passengers and their families are expressing frustration over the failure of the airport and airline staff to provide timely assistance.

This incident raises broader questions about how airlines and airports are handling the needs of elderly and disabled passengers, who are often at higher risk of injury in busy and crowded airport environments. While the airline has promised to make improvements, many wonder if these issues are systemic, requiring changes to both staffing and the way airports allocate resources for assistance services.
