Kochi: Air India (AI) will introduce a special discount package for Indians returning to the country on the amnesty scheme initiated by the UAE government for all illegal residents, Union Minister of State for Civil Aviation K.C. Venugopal has said.
The details of the package, to be in force from January, were being worked out. Even though the scheme was launched in December, the number of Indians availing it seemed to be low. We expect the rush to start by January, he said.
On his Ministry’s expansion plans, Mr. Venugopal said a complaint redressal cell for Gulf passengers would function from his office in New Delhi.
The complaints may be mailed to ixmailstominister@nic.in Officials concerned would respond to the complaints in a week of its receipt, he said.
The operations of Air India Express (AIE) would be shifted completely to Kochi by January. The heads of departments would be available in Kochi regularly.
