NEW DELHI: A group of representatives from a few airlines met senior police official of Delhi Police at the IGI airport expressing concern over the safety of their woman staff and air hostesses. As airline cab drivers are not willing to pay an additional fee of Rs 150, these women staff are left with no option but to leave the airport premises and hire a cab from outside, even during odd hours.
Police are now planning to write to Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL). A meeting took place last week where these officials met DCP IGIA, Dinesh Kumar Gupta, and raised the matter.
"Due to the odd hour services, air hostesses who arrive at Terminal 3 of the airport during the early hours, require to walk out the terminal area in order to take a cab back home. The drivers have been reluctant in entering the airport as they don't want to pay the additional fees," said a senior official of an international airline operating at the airport.
"If the cab drivers are asked to pick up these girls right from the terminal, the amount gets added to the commuter's fare. At least the cabs ferrying an airline's staff shall be exempted from the payment," he said.
