Air India Express cancels several flights after cabin crew call in sick en masse

They said that the crew reported sick in protest against the Tata management over the merger of AIX Connect (AirAsia India with Air India Express).

“A section of our cabin crew reported sick at the last minute, starting last night, resulting in flight delays and cancellations. While we are engaging with the crew to understand the reasons behind these occurrences, our teams are actively addressing this issue to minimise any inconvenience to our guests,” an Air India Express spokesperson said.

Offering refunds for the affected flights, the spokesperson said, “...Guests impacted by cancellations will be offered a full refund or complimentary rescheduling to another date. Guests flying with us today are requested to check if their flight is affected, before heading to the airport.”
