Air India Expresses Says Operations Return To Normalcy In Next Two days: Report

Air India Express, an airline owned by Tata, has reported a steady improvement in operations since the strike that caused major interruptions to flights ended. This is because more members of the cabin staff are returning to work. More than 170 flights were cancelled as a result of the strike, which was started on Tuesday night by a section of the cabin crew. But on Thursday night, it was called off along with the withdrawal of the letters of termination sent to the 25 striking cabin crew members.

The Tata Group airline, which usually runs about 380 flights per day, reduced its operations in reaction to the impact of the strike. It was anticipated that normalcy will resume within the following two days, according to an official statement released on Friday.

On Thursday, the cabin crew of Air India Express opted to end their strike, prompting the airline to agree to reinstate the 25 terminated staff. The strike had been instigated by a segment of the cabin crew reporting sick from Tuesday night, citing grievances regarding alleged mismanagement within the airline. Consequently, thousands of passengers were affected across various airports due to the flight cancellations.

The decision to terminate the strike and revoke the termination letters arose from a conciliation meeting held on Thursday between representatives of the cabin crew and airline management. The meeting, spanning nearly five hours, took place at the Office of the Chief Labour Commissioner in the national capital.

Participating in the meeting were representatives of the Air India Express Employees Union (AIXEU) and airline management. Notably, the union is affiliated with the Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh (BMS), an associate of the RSS.

Both parties have agreed to further discussions on the issues at hand, scheduling another meeting for May 28.
