It appears that Air India Express — a low cost subsidiary for Air India — has taken security of airport areas casually, as trainee crewmembers have been given a temporary pass. Sources say they haven’t been issued valid company passes, and so haven’t got Airport Entry Passes, as these are given only after they get valid company IDs.
According to sources, 49 of the trainee cabin crew who have started operating for the airline, are still flying with their temporary passes and haven’t been issued a permanent airline identity card or their work contracts. These crewmembers have been trained in Mumbai and have been operating from Calicut.
While their training has been completed and they have begun work, a spokesperson said Permanent Company Identity Cards are issued to cabin crew after successful completion of their training and issuance of fixed term contracts. According to sources, they finished their training in September and were allowed to operate on flights.
