Air India Contingency Plan

The coronavirus scare has affected air travel as several airlines across the world, including in India, have curtailed flight operations to China.

With Chennai being virtually "cut off" for three days now in terms of air connectivity, the civil aviation ministry has put in a contingency plan to operate limited commercial flights today and tomorrow.

With no end in sight to the strike by a section of Air India pilots which entered the 15th day on Tuesday, the airline management has extended its contingency plan of curtailed operations to June 1.

Under the plan, the carrier is operating a bare minimum international operations by clubbing flights to Europe and the US.

There appears to be no sign of a compromise between the pilots on strike and the management.

The US Transportation Department has slapped a fine of $80,000 on Air India for failing to post customer service, tarmac delay contingency plans on its website and adequately inform passengers about its optional fees.This is the first penalty assessed for a violation of the Department's new airline consumer rules that took effect in last August.

The ICC has scrapped its contingency plans to airlift teams to the WI for the World T20 following the relaxation of air travel restrictions across Europe.

18 Air India flights from Delhi will not operate on September 30, as part of the airline's contingency plan during the ongoing pilots' strike.
