Major Gulf carriers, including Emirates and Etihad, have resumed limited flight operations as of Saturday, following regional airspace closures. Services are gradually restoring, with some restricted to "relief corridors" for stranded passengers.
A total of 31 flights were cancelled at Trichy Airport on Wednesday. The operational disruptions included the cancellation of 16 arriving flights and 15 scheduled departures, according to Trichy Airport.
The petition, moved by Akhil Rana and Utkarsh Sharma, raises concerns over arbitrary cancellations, unexplained delays, non-payment of mandatory refunds, overbooking, discriminatory conduct, DGCA non-compliance, and broader issues of aviation safety and regulatory accountability.
In view of the widespread disruptions that travellers across India are currently experiencing, Air India and Air India Express announced a series of proactive measures to help those stranded reach their destinations.
