Singapore Airlines recently apologised to a customer who found a ‘human tooth’ in his meal on a flight from New Zealand to Australia. The incident is still currently under investigation.
According to a report on TODAY, the meal was not prepared by Sats, the in-flight caterer for various airlines at Changi Airport. “We are currently investigating this incident and have sent the object for analysis. Once the results of the analysis are known, we will determine what the most appropriate course of action to take is,” said the spokesperson.
The report also states that when the passenger first discovered the tooth, a flight attendant was ‘adamant that she needed to take it away for testing and was trying to tell him that it was a small rock when it was, without a shadow of a doubt, a tooth’.
The passenger was later given a S$75 (US$55.5) voucher, which he could use to buy duty-free products on board SIA’s flights.
