A passenger, Jahanvi Tripathi, has alleged developing a severe fungal infection on her legs after traveling on an Akasa Air flight from Bengaluru to Ahmedabad on December 26, attributing it to unhygienic seating conditions. She reported significant discomfort, inability to walk or sleep properly, and is undergoing medical treatment. Her friends reportedly experienced similar discomfort. Akasa Air acknowledged the social media post, stated they are reviewing the matter, and emphasized their strict cleanliness and safety standards, asserting that the reported conditions do not reflect their usual practices.
