AI shifting Dubai passengers to parallel flights

Dubai: With agitation by Air India pilots entering its fourth day today, the airline management here is trying to shift passengers to parallel flights, a senior official said.
Abhay Pathak, Air India's regional manager, said so far this morning, only one flight to India – IC 968 Sharjah-Trivandrum-Trichy-Chennai – has been cancelled.
"As part of the contingency plan, we are shifting passengers to Air India Express flights that operate parallel," he said. That means loads of flights from Sharjah to Hyderabad and Dubai to Hyderabad have been combined to keep the operations running.
"We are in touch with passengers all the time and are doing our level best to keep them informed of the measures we are taking," he said adding the focus is on keeping parallel arrangements running so that passenger inconvenience is minimised.
