Tata group-owned Air India Express canceled over 80 flights after cabin crew members reported sick and protested against the airline’s human resource practices. The CEO is open to discussion with the crew and the airline plans to curtail flights to mitigate disruption. The civil aviation ministry has sought a report, and the regional labor commissioner is pushing for resolution. Former J&K CM Ghulam Nabi Azad complained about flights being canceled without intimation. Cabin crew members express dissatisfaction with reduced salaries due to the merger with AirAsia India. The airline union claims mismanagement and unequal treatment of staff.
The civil aviation ministry has announced that air traffic at Mumbai airport has improved and delays in flight arrivals have been reduced. The government is committed to minimizing inconvenience for passengers. The Airport Authority of India has instructed the airport to decrease aircraft movement during rush hours. The ministry’s actions have resulted in fewer delays and better adherence to allotted slots. Airlines had to cancel multiple flights following the directive.
