What a burn! Honouring a customers choice is always too priority for a customer centric airline. Good job ?

Vistara's Chief Strategy and Commercial Officer, Sanjiv Kapoor also joined in the conversation and made a cheeky response:
I hope this has no reference with the recent ban by @airindiain on domestic flights

We have no idea what you are talking about :)

On Tuesday, Air India took the "conscious decision" to stop serving vegetarian meals to passengers flying the economy class in domestic flights to "reduce wastage, reduce cost and improve catering service."
The trolls came to work almost instantly:
Air India is like the one friend who says "non-veg nahi khata, but anda kha leta hu"#AirIndia

Air India to serve only veg food.

In economy.
To cut costs.
Bhai Vistara ka caterer ka number le lo.
Air India to serve only veg food.

Also instead of safety instructions, the air hostesses will conduct Satyanarayan ki Katha before take off
Only Veg food on Air India Flights? Will miss the lizards & cockroaches.

This was a clean sweep for Vistara. Better luck next time, Air India!
