New Delhi: A week after the disruption caused by the cabin crew strike, Air India Express operations are almost back to normal and no flights were canceled on Tuesday, officials said.
Protesting against alleged mismanagement at the carrier, a section of cabbie crew reported sick last week. As a result, the carrier had to cancel hundreds of flights since last Tuesday.
An official said operations have returned to normal and all scheduled flights were operated on Tuesday.
Another official said the airline operated around 345 flights and no flights were cancelled. This is the first day since last Tuesday that there has been no cancellation and about 201 of the total services today were international flights, the official said.
The strike by cabin crew was called last Thursday and the Tata Group-owned carrier also withdrew the termination letters issued to 25 cabin crew following a conciliation meeting called by the Chief Labor Commissioner in the national capital.
There was no official comment from Air India Express.
