Ricky Kej was caught on the Istanbul airport for practically 40 years.

Bengaluru-based music composer and Grammy Award Winner Ricky Kej not too long ago slammed Lufthansa airways for poor customer support after a medical emergency left round 300 passengers stranded on the Istanbul airport for over 34 hours. In a collection of tweets, Mr Kej alleged that his Lufthansa flight from Frankfurt to Bengaluru landed in Istanbul due to a medical emergency onboard. However, he added that the airline left different passengers caught on the airport with no rationalization, no lodge, and no data by any means. 

Mr Kej acknowledged that over 300 individuals on the flight – primarily Indians – had been left to fend for themselves as Lufthansa didn’t present any lodging, lounge entry, baggage and even a proof. “Can’t believe how @lufthansa takes India customers for granted,” he wrote on Twitter.
