Recently, US filmmaker and journalist Adam Ellick shared a video online that stirred a debate about the behavior of Indian airline passengers. In the video, passengers on an Indian flight were seen standing up and reaching for their luggage as soon as the plane landed, even though the cabin crew repeatedly instructed them to remain seated.

Adam Ellick posted the video on Instagram with the caption, “Classic landing in India,” which led to mixed reactions from people. The footage showed passengers ignoring a female crew member’s announcements, asking them to wait until the seatbelt sign was turned off. Later, when a male crew member made the same request, passengers seemed to respond more quickly. This observation sparked discussions about social behavior, gender dynamics, and travel etiquette.

Many users agreed with Adam Ellick, stating that passengers in India often ignore safety rules and act impatiently. Some commented that people are always in a hurry, making travel difficult for others. Others pointed out that a lack of civic sense and discipline is a common issue. However, not everyone supported Ellick’s viewpoint. Some travelers argued that this behavior is not unique to India and happens in many other countries as well. They believed it was more about human impatience than cultural differences.
One user also highlighted the gender aspect, noting that passengers seemed to listen more to the male crew member than to the female crew member. This led to a discussion on how gender bias still exists in society.
