AI, Jet plan additional flights to clear backlog

Mumbai: With air traffic between India and Europe returning to normalcy, national air-carrier Air India and private airline, Jet Airways, are planning to operate additional flights soon to clear the backlog of passengers.
Air India had yesterday announced that it would operate an additional flight between Mumbai-London on Friday.
Additional cockpit and cabin-crew are in a position to start extra flights, if needed, to clear the backlog of stranded passengers, Air India said.
Five of Air India's flights were stuck at various airports in Europe and the US after the air traffic was suspended last week because of volcanic ashes from Iceland.
Jet Airways expects to clear the backlog in the next couple of days, a senior airline official said.
