Andaman fliers back after ordeal

Kolkata: The 145 tourists who were stranded in Andaman and Nicobar Islands due to the Air India stir and bad weather that prevented flights from landing two days earlier this week, finally landed in Kolkata on Wednesday afternoon in a JetLite flight chartered by AI.
The carrier's flights from Kolkata were normalized after pilots agreed to call off the agitation following assurance that the incentive cut proposal would be withdrawn and recast after discussion with the pilots. AI officials said the airline would operate additional flights wherever necessary to bail out stranded passengers.
To begin with, AI will operate an additional flight on Thursday to bring back any other tourists who may be held up in the Andamans.
