Grounded AI flight upsets her Toronto visit

BRS Nagar: The worry lines on Surinder Kaur's forehead are palpable. The 62-year-old woman is unable to reach her son and daughter-in-law in Toronto, Canada, owing to the ongoing strike of Air India pilots. Kaur has to be there for her daughter-in-law's delivery but since many AI flights have been grounded, she is having a harrowing time.
She rued that the direct AI flight for Toronto from Amritsar has been cancelled due to the strike and she is being forced to find an alternative. Sharing her ordeal, Kaur said, "It's the first baby of my son and daughter-in-law and so it is important for me to be with them before May 29 but the AI strike has put a spanner on all my plans. I am trying to get tickets of some other airline but the schedule of those flights doesn't match my itinerary."
