New Delhi: On her way to Singapore for a new job, Preeti Varma was about to board her Jet Airways flight from IGI Airport on Saturday when she was given some shocking news. Her cat, James Dean, who was to travel on the same flight, had died.
The attendents said James, so named under the mistaken belief that she was a tomcat, had escaped from her cage while being transported to the aircraft. CCTV footage showed James came under the wheels of a vehicle operating in the tarmac.
Jet issued an apology on a social networking site after Varma and her friends took up the issue. Nobody from the airline had contacted her personally till Monday night.
"I was waiting to board my flight when two personnel from Jet came to me and said the cat's cage was empty. I was completely stunned and only when I asked them what they meant, they replied that she was no more," Varma told TOI.
