Consumer body calls for boycott of Indian, Air India

Dubai: A leading airline consumer body has called for the boycott of India's national carriers Indian and Air India for providing sub-standard services in the Gulf sector.
"We are going to boycott Indian and Air India for providing substandard services in the Gulf sector, especially from Kerala, and initiate legal action against them," K M Basheer, general secretary of the All India Airport Users' Forum (AIAUF), told IANS.
He said that the carriers provided five-star treatment to passengers going to Britain and the US while charging comparatively lower fares but passengers on the Gulf sector are charged exorbitant fares while at the same time being subjected to indifferent treatment by airline crew.
"Flights, especially from Calicut to the Gulf are frequently delayed or cancelled putting passengers to great inconvenience," he added.
There are around 55 lakh expatriate Indians in the Gulf region.
