Indians in the UAE are unhappy with the new baggage limit imposed by Air India and the budget carrier Air India Express, which came into effect Thursday.
Both the airlines have slashed the maximum baggage allowance by 10 kilograms - from 30 kgs to 20 kgs per passenger and have introduced a fee of Dh30 for the additional kilos.
A delegation comprising members of eight Indian expatriate associations from Abu Dhabi under the initiative of the Indian Media Abu Dhabi (IMA) has left for New Delhi to appeal to the Indian Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh, the Civil Aviation Ministers Ajith Singh, and KC Venu Gopal; Indian Defence Minister A K Antony; the leader of opposition Sushama Swaraj and Congress leader Sonia Gandhi, said Anil C Idukkula, General Secretary IMA.
Meanwhile, numerous Indian community associations, radio stations, newspapers and other media in the UAE have been running campaigns against the revised baggage rules.
