Cochin Airport Flights Delayed Due To Shortage Of Emigration Staff

The Cochin International Airport on Friday faced a shortage of staff at the Emigration wing, which led to an inordinate delay in processing the travel documents. The passengers who arrived at the airport to board flights to various ai, were delayed due to the shortage.
According to sources, many foreign bound flights like the Air Arab to Sharjah, Air India to Daman, Emirates to Dubai and many such flights were delayed due to the delay in travel documents processing. Meanwhile the problem is aggravating due to the increase of passengers.
Sources say that the Emigration personnel at the Kochi airport were forced to work over time, without giving them any leave. Thus the continuous work had affected the performance of the staff. The staff at the Kochi airport resided in faraway places like Kozikode, Thiruvananthapuram and Kasargod. After working in double shifts the staff used to take the day off and go home, but now nothing as such is allowed.
