Following the accident Meera Chopra, Priyanka Chopra's cousin cancelled her husband's Dubai flight and asked for refund from the company for safety concerns.

She stated, "#AirIndia insensitivity is beyond shocking..My husband is scheduled to travel to Dubai on 15th June on @airindia and we wanted to cancel the flight due to the lack of safety measures. But Air India declined to refund any amount citing no advisory has come to them."

She further added,"We all took pride in flying Air India as it’s our national airline run by reputed Tata group but it’s beyond disappointing what happened today and how these guys are handling their customers who are afraid to travel now going forward. Shame on them! 240 people have lost their life on this carrier but @airindia doesn't really care."

Following a recent accident in Ahmedabad that has shaken public trust in Air India, a user's post requesting a refund for a canceled booking sparked debate online. While some commenters criticized her for not utilizing Air India's redressal system or reviewing the cancellation policy, others pointed out that refunds are typically only granted for flight time changes, not cancellations due to fear of flying. Several users also argued that canceling due to a single incident shouldn't obligate the airline to issue a refund, especially with the cause of the crash still unknown.
