In a commendable act of bravery and quick thinking, Vistara flight attendant Kessang Bhutia became a lifesaver when she administered timely CPR to a two-year-old girl at Mumbai airport. The incident occurred at a boarding gate as Bhutia was awaiting the arrival of a flight, UK986, set to fly from Mumbai to Delhi. Bhutia sprang into action upon hearing distressed cries from a group of passengers. She rushed to the scene along with another flight attendant, discovering a child who was unresponsive and not breathing. Initially, they sought a nearby doctor without success, prompting Bhutia to take matters into her own hands. Without wasting precious time, Bhutia, along with fellow crew member Faizan Khan, performed CPR on the two-year-old. Thanks to her quick response and presence of mind, the child was successfully revived. An airline official shared, “She saw from a distance an unresponsive and breathless child and immediately went there. She tried to look for a doctor around, but unfortunately, there were none. Without losing time, she gave CPR to the child with the help of another crew member, Faizan Khan. Luckily, the baby was revived.” Bhutia’s prompt actions have earned her praise and appreciation for her life-saving efforts

Dia Mirza slams Vistara Airlines for not providing any help after cancelling her flight

Aiswarya Machavaram — Sat, 21 May 2022 15:47:42 +0000

Dia Mirza revealed on Saturday that she was inconvenienced by an airline while flying to Delhi last night. Unfortunately, she is not the only one who has complained about the situation; several other customers have also expressed their dissatisfaction with the airline after being left stuck for hours with no food or water. Due to poor weather in the national capital, the airline’s flight destined for Delhi was diverted to Jaipur and subsequently cancelled.

Dia turned to Twitter and addressed the issue. She wrote “UK904 to Delhi, is diverted to land in Jaipur. We waited inside the aircraft for 3hrs. Then we are told the flight is cancelled and are asked to disembark. NO ONE for the airport authority or Vistara to offer any help or answers. Where are our bags?”

Vistara responded to the post by saying that all passengers have been accommodated.
