Air India may be looking at the government for more money for a “turnaround” but it seems the financially troubled national carrier cannot stop finding ways for wasteful expenditure.
Faulty human resources management at Delhi, which was developed as AI’s hub in November 2010, has cost the company an extra Rs 17.17 crore. The loss happened during 2011-12 and 2012-13, the CAG report tabled in Parliament last week has said.
“This was possible to have been corrected by the company through suitable human resource measures. This assumes greater importance in view of the present financial difficulties being faced by the company and emphasis laid by the government on rationalisation of costs for a turnaround,” it said.
The airline has to maintain a required strength of cabin crew at Delhi and Mumbai to operate international flights. With Delhi becoming its hub, Air India had to increase the number of crew in Delhi for smooth operations. Sixty-seven per cent of international flights originated from Mumbai prior to the declaration of Delhi as its hub but it came down to 48 per cent after November 2010.
