- Air India Express Cancels 90+ Flights as Employees Call in Sick | Vantage with Palki Sharma
Air India Express will curtail flights for the next few days as the airline has been forced to cancel more than 90 flights since Tuesday night due to cabin crew members reporting sick. India's civil aviation ministry has sought a report, asking the aviation firm to resolve issues promptly and ensure facilities to passengers as per DGCA norms. But what explains the recent turbulence in the Indian aviation sector? India is the fastest-growing aviation market in the world but can it keep up with the demand? Who pays the price for these delays and cancellations? Palki Sharma tells you.

The employees are used to not working when Government was in control of Air India. Now under TATA they want the same treatment. All these employees should be sacked. In India we have enough people to replace these lazy ones.
@@sevenseasc8094 years ago Singapore Airlines pilots decided to go on strike.
President of Singapore promised to put them in jail they went on strike.
The interests of the population of Singapore comes over the interest of pilots
Air Indian express is not under Tata only Air India is under Tata
@@sevenseasc8094 but isn't earning profit is essential for the business survival.
Absolutely right !! The employees have looted this company run by the government.
@@SuperShine30 "On 8 October 2021, Air India, along with its low-cost carrier Air India Express and fifty percent of AISATS, a ground handling company, were sold for ₹18,000 crores (US$2.5 billion) to Talace Private Limited, a Tata Sons' special-purpose entity. The airlines were later handed over to the Tata Group.[12]"

Now they have to work properly after takeover. It's not laid-back when it was under the government.....
Typical government employees mindset😂
U r rooting for Ambani as you are their staff
@@cablenetworksystemsno, he is laughing on laziness among government employees.
haha exactly, because of such employees Air India was in such huge loss
These employees are under rss payroll. They don't want Tata to own this thing. Now they're trying to bankrupt the company from the inside and then force Tata to sell it to Jio or Adhani
I was mistreated at Kolkata airport by Air India employee name Mahuya Bhattacharrya while taking a flight to New York. Reported the incident, nothing happened.
Could you please elaborate what happened on in your situation. I could help you with Blasting it on twitter and demanding action from Air India
@@prasannarajendran9315 November 2nd, 2022 flight AI 770, then AI 101, PNR#2XWXUE, I was flying with my wife and 3yo daughter. Was sitting at kolkata airport, sipping coffee, about to get into aeroplane. Air india employee Mahuya Bhattacharrya came with her gang. She was harassing other passengers, then finally came to me. She looked at my carry on luggage and asked me if I have 3 luggages for 3 person. I said I've only 1 carry on. She made me 3 carry on from 1. So, I took out 2 plastic bags and separated my 1 carry on to 3. This is a complete harassment. In the areobridge I put everything in 1 carry on and entered into aeroplane. Such a bad experience. After coming to New York, I twitted, air india didn't take any action. I think Mahuya Bhattacharrya still on job. She and the team should be fired.
@@prasannarajendran9315 bro nothing can happen All air india employees are terrible
@@prasannarajendran9315 some passengers demanding are very high on economy tickets,in the name of customer they expect to much from company.
Seen there is no JAMAI-RAJA like treatment now.....
These govt employees are not used to working. I work in Indigo and adjacent to my office is air India office and everyday I see air India staffs just snoring all day long before the Tata acquisition. Now they are working their ass off.
Makes sense.
Indian ministry cares about wealthy airplane passengers.
Two months strike of public bus drivers and conductors in Maharashtra was left astray by the "authorities".
absolute bullshit
I am very sorry to hear your comment - I have people known working on Air india express. Before commenting you should understand few things. Air india express is one of the brand which was profitable. If they were lazy and snoring what hurts you moreover your bank balance did not compensate to make such cheap comments on an other cabin crew. I personally flied on both airlines , Air india is way better than indigo in all terms. Air india supported and bought back so many Indians who were stranded on overseas during Russia Ukraine war. What did your airline do ?
Let me make it straight - If indigo is taken over by jet airways for example. Jet airways decides to sit in indigo assessment panel and with no reason your contracts are cut shorten and termination emails sent out where even local location HRs are not aware and HRA allowance and other allowances are taken out despite they being a profitable airlines . Then you will understand. Also they make instant decisions of cut shortening the salary cap and reduce the age limits and reduce the BMI Standards were has international airline's like emirates don't even bother on those grounds and pay triple the salary then what is offered by airindia / indigo.
Note :- Air india express is different from Air india. They have been always a profitable airline.
Govt Vs Private work culture difference
Air India needs to provide the level of services like Vistara, staff need to be treated well but also trained well.

Air india govt employees cant work in an efficient manner with tata hence the drama
In India problem is company management wants employees to work 24*7 with low hike and no profit sharing. Airline industry is like IT sector . A alot to learn and govt should intervene if it wants airline growth in India
U r rooting for Ambani as you are their staff
All tata group companies have horrible management and bad pay structure. Same in TCS and tata motors.
Corrupt Air India management.. overwork, treat employees like hell.
Ok, are the air hostesses as young as other airlines. Do they get pension?

@@surpotel8016 it's not true... In government employees directly benefited. But in private it's not possible due to lack of management and looting own hardworking employees. Most of dedicated smart employees in private sector even facing problems. Bad HR system and many things. Hope you understand. They are not lazy they want better working hierarchy.
Air India made big mistakes, air India should have chosen fit and young staff. The old staff with old attitudes and lauzy Uniforms should have been gone. It should be totally new Airlines.with new face and attitudes.
They are unhappy that instead of working for a PSU where they got tax payer's money as salary and enjoyed Govt. job status are no longer enjoying the same privileges and have to work like majority of other Indians who work in private firms.
Simple reason. Employees want to be decision makers! They want the right to decide whether to work, when to work and for how much to work. An employee has to learn work under the terms agreed and signed. If an employee is unhappy, he/ she is free to leave after giving notice. Here they don't want to leave, but they want to rule! There has to be strict action against these employees who gave no consideration for the passengers they have to serve, absolutely unprofessional!
Treat employees well
Vice-versa employees should maintain their weight, passenger relations and service. Tatas will not take any BS from staff. It's our reputation. This is not ur local train or bus.
Tata group is not treating it's employees in a friendly way. Even in TCS the work environment has become so toxic that they're forcing us to comply to few policies which are completely non sense. I guess they want to reduce the workforce since they can't think of a way to grow.
Ofcourse difference between being govt employee and private employee is same as difference between earth and sky. Imagine SBI going private and buyer asking employees to reduce their lunch time from 5hr to 1hr.. oooo.... employees will go nuts.
Simple: recruit new people, we are ready to work with low salary
No, you are not. At some point you will realise that you are slaving away with no savings barely making ends meet.
I am ready
@@lonerider6175 It's better to work at low salary instead of being unemployee
I wonder how many employees are happy working for Tata
All TATA companies are worst compony to work, TCS, Airindia, TATA motors etc..
So resign, who is telling u to work, there are many educated people in India who have not got jobs yet, they will work
@@shubradeepde7417 TATA company are taking advantage of huge population. If you want to become a slave, go and work for shitty TATA. Idiotic Ratan Tata it self can live high standard of life but when it comes to salary he can't spend enough to their employees.
@@shubradeepde7417 If you want to become slave of TATA, go ahead and work. Nobody is stopping you. TATA companies are taking advantage of huge Indian population.
Ratan Tata sabse bada chutiya insaan hai...khud toh alisaan thang se rehta hai...or employess ko penny bhi nahi deta hai. Bas charity karke apne aap ko mahan insaan hone ka dikhawa karta hai.
Will you pay his expenses if he resign? @@shubradeepde7417
TCS took over all USA job market and it's hard to find a job for us citizens
So
lol kaha se kaha tak.. well my friend that’s the same industry that’s keeping 20% of Indians employed lol
No more sarkari damad 🤣
Soo many young people want to become pilots in India, but unlike the western nations where anyone can become a pilot, you need to have done your 10th and 12th in specific subjects and have had specific percentage of marks. I know one person in family who wanted to become a pilot and was denied the chance because he was from commerce background. This needs to change sometime in future
That is not true. All developed western countries require candidates to show proof of completion of education, that includes Physics and Mathematics (mandatory), at high school level and with certain minimum grades. So students in these countries already fulfil the criteria by default when then pass out from High School. There is no requirement of a formal Bachelor degree in STEM subject though. So 'anyone can become Pilot' there.
Knowledge of Physics and Mathematics is mandatory requirement all across the world for a job as a Pilot in Airline company.
Plus, in India, in some state boards Physics is not even included as a separate subject at high school level (10th and 12th) - and students from Commerce background almost never get a formal education in Physics. So how do you expect them to complete the challenging Pilot training program and fulfil the minimum requirements?
Last, just because there is a shortage doesn't mean we lower the bar and allow anyone to become a Pilot. It is like saying, let's admit Commerce and Arts folks to medical college because there is a shortage of Doctors! Both Doctors and Pilots have responsibility towards people's life.
@@dukhi_aatma372 well said, these days people just say what they want to say without even thinking about the consequences. Just the idea of commerce students becoming a pilot without formal technical education(as required by aviation) is truly dreadful and a nightmare. Imagining alone that sends chills down the spine.
Care to name which are those western countries where 'anyone can become a Pilot'? AFAIK, all of them have minimum educational qualification requirements.
@@kunti_putra USA, I have seen that anyone can get a commercial license here.
I shared a link but youtube deleted it :) so you will have to google the requirements for USA
All the employees who reported 'Sick' should be fined one months salary. All these entitled employees who were used to not working and enjoying all benefits while AI was under govt control all of a sudden find themselves having to work for their salary and are protesting
air india worked for the government for years, now changing the attitude to work for private like the rest of us must be hard. anywho, india never got it right when it comes to the airlines industry, should have been a market leader in air cargo and passenger service. Maybe privatizing air india was one of the best things to happen. I hope the cost of tickets are decided by the market and not the government.
Air india have to give compensation to all passengers who couldn't travel.
After it was nationalised, Air India employees acquired and always had a rotten reputation for gross indiscipline which the new management is now up against. In today's most cutthroat competition era, such non-cooperation and militant trade unionism will surely sink this airline.
Once Malaysian air line faced the same problem and how the president of Malaysia address the issue was historical.
Indian ministry cares about wealthy airplane passengers.
Two months strike of public bus drivers and conductors in Maharashtra was left astray by the "authorities".
Are you ready to pay like them.
That is the real Difference between government and private employees
This are government service mindset. A high level organized lobbyism.
Whatever beef you have with ur employer does not justify causing purpose delibrate grief harm to fellow citizens. They could have sent a mass letter posted on social media 3 4 days prior informing that air india employees wont come for work on so & so dates. It was done in a way minutes before reporting time they called sick & switched off their phones so that passengers are already in the airport & dont get any other flights, so that passengers bare huge losses on their work & commitments. People fly for job interviews medical emergencies students fly to give exams. Many have connecting flights trains etc to other places from other airlines. Protest 400 employers instead of 200 protest for months but think about the common man who has no fault in this. If they had informed atleast 2 3 days prior people could have sorted their commitments travel. Doesn't justify causing grief fo fellow countrymen & holding them for ransom.
What the employees fault.. they will not work with red eyes more than 12 hrs daily without holidays... 😢

@@SmritiI304 wealthy passengers don't travel air india. Air india is known for rude employees & rude behaviour & least helpful staff. Ordinary common man flies air india express majboori se
@@two_wanderedsouls you are ignorant about ordinariness.
@@SmritiI304 more than ten thousand passengers as around 100 flights were cancelled. Each passenger missed a important commitment of their life. On top each one had loses in thousands & lakhs. What about that if you don't like ur work quit find another job don't play with the livelihoods & important commitments of common citizens.
So as always .. just book indigo 😂
Air India employees in the past destroyed the aurlines by their union activities.
Change of management with the same set of employees is bound to continue with past employees attitude.
Aviation regulators will add / encourage to the union activities
Thats unfortunate everyone in India should get a government job with lot of money.
How do you expect to managed India as whole when you can not even managed an express airline?
Dumbo its a private company
im surprised Palki didn't blame China 😮
I have traveled in Air india before. The staff are lazy and never do their job. They even asked me throw my glass on my own as they were lazy to do so. Always they used to stand at the back of aircraft and enjoy free time. After TATA takeover they are working nicely but most of them have the habit of enjoying like how they used to do under government rule. lAZY employees are made to work which is making them protest.
And this is why India is not the next china LOL
No problem sack every one we have so many new educated one who wants to work hard .
Oh the free loading govt employees of former govt owned airline must be finding it very difficult to actually work without freebies
In 2023, my flight with Air India Express to Abu Dhabi got delayed by almost 12 hours. Thus I couldn't get the Lufthansa connection flight from Abu Dhabi. The whole flight got paid 3500 dollars, but got only 500 dollars as refund. When we call the airlines, they ask us to contact the booking portal and viceversa. Nowadays, if you lose a connection flight, you lose that flight and all the amount you paid for the ticket. Don't ever book in a indian airline!
😂 being a sarkari Babu is a generational disease,they all must be sacked up immediately,people want government jobs but don't want to perform,these people are a nuisance and union must be nullified.
Everyone should work properly ❤
Cut the costs from their salaries. They want to work like sarkari babus
It is mismanagement of Air India, it is prove privatization is no ultimate solution, we support Air India wokers
Air India brave Indian customer
Congrast first post . you have started now reporting on actual neww sna not just modi puja
Let's do pappu puja, anyways got paid lot for that from so ros uncle. Then charanbhaats will be happy😊
This is going to be a growing and common trend in India on our journey to privatization ( which is extremly important and necessary). A country like India cannot, I repeat cannot , have a goverment that governs and is an employer. Private company management doesn't care if you will vote for your employers again or not. I say this with a couple of family members experiencing this. People will need to be re trained if they want to keep up with the advancements in hospitality and technology. There is no way out of it. Unions in private sector are therefore weaker. A company thinks in profits and losses and a givernemnt operated corporation thinks of its employees also as possible future voters. This is also the case with govt schools, institues. Go and read more. But please understand why our tax money cannot go back to a govt run Air India with age old rules of management in 2024. Show kindness to Tata group, this country has the best corporate social responsibility records for India.
Govt doesn't think about profits.... Govt institutions are under funded. The govt is running hospitals and schools in the remotest areas even though they are at a loss just for the public service.
.
For exam in my locality govt is running state rtc buses in non profitable routes because private buses won't operate in that route as it is not profitable for them ...
💯
Air India 's customer service is bad for the last so many months.Even after booking exit row seats by paying the fee before 15 days they refused the seats giving no reason
What more you can expect if you sell air tickets at the price of railway ticket?
You need help
Customer = kasht se mar is the basic definition.
Govt or admin has nothing to do with.
They just want business, profits, taxes,,etc to distribute freebies to non- tax paying farmers, agriculturists, so called poor labourers, plumbers, electricians, auto drivers, vote bank , reservation beneficiary masses, etc
Wow corporate employees should also do this.
Ask the employees to continue SICK LEAVE and SACK them, Air India Organization to conduct a mass hiring to bring in new people.
Tata? 🤣
After take over Tata all ticket price is expensive and all middle class people are struggling better to return this airlines to Indian Goverment
👍
May be AirIndia needs a new staff who have good ethics to fulfill the duties and provide good services to consumers
Shame on the employees for such an illiterate barbaric act causing so much grief problems & losses to common citizens who have no fault. Aviation ministry should take very harsh strict action on these people. Even bus & auto drivers inform people via newspaper etc of strike days before. Pathetic that why whole country hates air india employees
I guess you will pay the employees whose salaries have been reduced by Tata. Then they will happily come back 😊
@@airlight7173 you don't like ur salary quit find another job. Does army people quit whose salaries are actually lower are nurses doctors quitting. Shame on you peoole
@@two_wanderedsouls i dont know if you have ever had a job before but its not so easy to quit a job for many people. Thats like telling a person with a 10 hour delayed flight to just book a new flight instead. This is not the way to treat employees who spend many years in one company and even relocate as many do in the airline industry.
@@airlight7173 imagine if a doctor leaves before a surgery saying I quit coz I am not being payed well before an operation & an army man leaves the border to let people enter that will harm you saying my pay is not good. Everyone has problems of some sorts with their boses that doesn't mean they harm a third party. That's just a very sick mentality
the west should have never allowed india to have access to airplanes
Average air India flights always delays and planes are old
All sick employess shoukd submit fresh MC for rejoinig
There are lot of people looking for these kind of jobs in aviation. They are young, hard working . Fire these old ones and hire the new ones. These old ones seem arrogant and don't wanna work at all
The hard working airline employees are unhappy with the changes and the Govt needs to intervene to restore public confidence in the Indian airline.
Air india only sick flaight
Air India needs new crew just as it acquired new carriers.
Modi new speech adani and ambani
Congress new speech how to split india 😊
WHY ARE SCINDIA AND PM SLEEPING ON A MAJOR ISSUE MORE BOTHERED ABOUT CONGRESS MUKT BHARAT THEN HARDSHIP OF CITIZENS
What is the goverment doing?
IF I am Air India CEO, I will make AIR India Top No-1 Aviation Company
Safe travel is only possible with well treated crews.
Hahahaha 😁😁😁 Air India Express didn't refund my money last month, I cancelled my ticket right after 7 hours... I knew something like this was coming 😁 yayyyy thankyou God
Very bad company... I tried contacting them for 3 weeks but never heard from any human being...their AI bot Tia is jot well developed to resolve all consumer issues... Hehe now I felt good 😌 you reap what you sow 😏
Indian Railway is overrun with freeloaders and now taking a flight is not a reliable option as well #ACHCHEDIN
AIE 🛫 should treat all staff with legal action, against of,breaking prestigious , financial, Sales and Commitment with clients, A large group of employees sudden action against the company, is really not acceptable.
Good news
Air India employees are used to eating free food. Now they have to work for their food so the protest.
Mujhe kya aeroplane ko bass najaro se hi chhuna hai mujhe... Hehe
Bhaad mein jae flight wagera late ho cancel ho Jo bhi ho
TATA and the government is playing with people's lives here. Lets not forget GermanWings.
Abolish the unionbazi....handover pink slip to employees who are so called sick. everything will fall in place for forever.
East or West, Indigo is the best.
good luck... Problem relies within Indian people. They want lowest of low fares at best service, smallest deviation mean take other form of transport or boycott travel altogether. Avigation industry can't survive. Staff better off working elsewhere carriers outside India. All faults strictly down to public not airlines.
Indian public isn't paid well either that they can all behave like Ambani's all the time.
AIR I SHOULD HAVE SETTLE EARLIER. NOTICE WAS PUBLISHED MUCH EARLIER
We pay the price n palki travels free.
What bruh?
😂
Since the TATA take over the management has been so shitty, reducing flying hours and the pay for per hour of flying, they aren't managing aircrafts well, the roaster for the crew is so screwed, they are reducing the salary though they are giving the least amount of money across all Indian airlines and are making their crew overwork. The new TATA management doesn't know anything and are not even taking up suggestions, THEY WILL MAKE AIR INDIA ANOTHER AIR ASIA
You were either part of the staff when it was public or you have a specific target against TATA. Thanks to TATA for turning over this corrupted airline to their best efforts.
No turbulamce at all. Sack strikers. Get new ones. Thats it.
Read the title? Jump to 1:14 to avoid listening to unnecessary BS.
Hey first post, jump right to the content. Don't lag a small information.
As I recall, the majority of the employees of air India are highly indisciplined and disrespectful to the passengers. Tata taking over India, meaning privatisation, would bring more word order and strict decorums, which the old employees might have found hard to follow.
Or... there is a fundamental problem in Tatas management itself as vistara is also facing the same problem
Simply keep all the names taking sick leave and sack them after situation get normalise and hire new people.
The crew who went on mass leave should take lessons from Kingfisher employees. If the Airlines winds up it's operations they will be on roads. Also take some lesson from West Bengal Jute mill workers.
अगर अपने बाल बच्चो का ख्याल है तो ऐसी हरकते बंद करो। Airlines are already in stress.
First of all need to fire all the employees and bring professionalism on airline .. I believe the other major airline in India also doing some conspiracy to ruin Airindia .. first Airindia need to fire all irrelevant staff and recruit new staff and provide better training
I can see how dumb and illiterate to the Aviation industry common people are.
NOBODY HAS LAID BACK LIFE in that industry to be honest, except for the greedy management in their ac offices.
Employees are dying and selling their health , time and are treated like rubble. And you expect they are having a chill life? The every month 20-30 airline Employees are getting unfit due to health issues from over fatigue nd working
Easy for us to sit in on our phones and comment on those poor airline employees. Try living their life and then comment.
Now people will say they chose this profession but let me tell you when someone else chooses to change your lifestyle , sleep time, family time amd holidays according to their will on a DAILY basis even after promising something else , it takes a toll....
Think of if yourself, i myself complain when I'm told on fri that I've to work on Saturdays as well. Imagine that on a daily basis, where you don't have any stability in life..!!
[Coming from a brother who's sister is having a hard time in airlines]😢
Very simple, old babus are the main culprit
Time
To
Fly out of India in foreigner carrier
Maharaja old employees are not used to work hard
U r rooting for Ambani as you are their staff
Lol, all these former sarkari babus are used to sleeping on their jobs, now work culture is that of a private company so they are crying
What is the actual mismanagement? Mismanagement is a very broad word. I don’t know if it is the Air India crew that is dumb or FirstPost on giving half information.
Recruit new pilots
People are giving gyans without any logics n without any freaking knowledge, uh have no right to say KUCH BHI until the shoe fits .
