Air India Express Cancels Flurry of Flights Amid Cabin Crew Protest Over Alleged Mismanagement

Air India Express, a low-cost carrier owned by Tata Group, has been grappling with a shortage of cabin crew members due to protests over alleged mismanagement. The protest has resulted in the cancellation of numerous flights at various airports, including Kochi, Calicut, and Bengaluru. The discontent among some cabin crew members has been brewing for some time, particularly since the merger of AIX Connect (formerly AirAsia India) with Air India Express was initiated. The sudden flight cancellations have left many passengers inconvenienced and have led to complaints on social media.

In response, Air India Express has apologized for the disruptions, citing operational reasons. They have also offered rescheduling options or full refunds to affected passengers. This development closely follows recent pilot issues faced by Tata Group’s full-service carrier Vistara, which led to a temporary 10% capacity reduction.

Tata Group, which aims to consolidate its airline operations, is currently merging Air India Express and AIX Connect, as well as Vistara with Air India. This article was generated from an automated news agency feed without modifications to text.
