Air India has decided to serve only vegetarian meals to economy passengers on its domestic flights
New Delhi:
Vegetarian or non-vegetarian, this airlines wants you to know that the choice of in-flight meal is up to the passenger. Vistara, a joint venture between Tata Sons and Singapore Airlines, posted a well-timed ad on
Facebook and
Twitter a day after Air India announced it would serve
only vegetarian meals to economy passengers on its domestic flights.
"Chicken or Vegetarian?" asks Vistara in the ad, "We leave the choice to you!"
On Twitter, the ad has been retweeted over 260 times since being shared approximately 16 hours ago.
Tweeting a person asking whether the ad was in response to Air India's much-talked about move, Vistara's Chief Strategy and Commercial Officer Sanjiv Kapoor responded cheekily with this message and smiley face emoji.
The ad has many on Twitter amused:
