CIAL ground-handling staff threaten stir

Kochi: The ground handling staff at the Cochin International Airport has threatened an indefinite strike from July 4 to bring to the attention of stakeholders the demands raised by the workers.

The service provider Khullar Hospitality in a statement issued to the press has appealed to the Cochin International Airport Limited (CIAL) to immediately intervene to address what it called “the deteriorating ground handling operations.” Khullar Hospitality had also alleged in its statement that the airport authority had turned a blind eye to the developments and allowed the situation to deteriorate leading to service disruption. However, CIAL sources said the airport operator was not in a position to legally intervene in the dispute as the contract for the service had been awarded to Air India, which had, in turn, engaged a contractor for the purpose.
