Air India Express Chaos: Flights Cancelled, Crew in Turmoil

Air India Express - airfares - cabin crew - flight cancellations - passenger rights

Mass flight cancellations and crew unrest shake Air India Express, leaving passengers stranded and fares soaring. Find out the inside story here!

Air India Express, the airline that usually operates around 360 flights per day, is currently facing turmoil as over 100 flights were cancelled due to cabin crew calling in sick. The chaos continued as a section of cabin crew was fired, leading to the cancellation of at least 74 more flights. The airline even terminated around 30 crew members who went on mass sick leave, citing pre-meditated absenteeism. Passengers were left stranded and in a pinch as international flights were cancelled, triggering protests and demands for alternative arrangements.

The disruptions from the cancellations are ongoing, with over 90 more flights affected as cabin crew continue to take sick leave in dissatisfaction with new employment terms. The impact has been felt by more than 15,000 passengers, highlighting the scale of the issue. With flights to Gulf nations being called off at the last minute, travelers at airports like Thiruvananthapuram, Kochi, and Kannur are facing disappointment and uncertainty.

In Bengaluru, the chaos escalated with nine Air India Express flights being cancelled, leaving over 1,700 passengers stranded. The financial losses and staff negligence have added to the airline's challenges during this period of upheaval.

In light of the cancellations, airfares have skyrocketed, with budget airline seats to Dubai costing as much as ₹33,592. The situation is a result of the consecutive cancellations of flights, creating a ripple effect in the airline industry.
