AI curtails flights due to cabin crew shortage

Mumbai: Air India has cancelled or temporarily withdrawn as many as 12 flights from its domestic and international network, which include services to Kabul and Kuala Lumpur, due to shortage of cabin crew.
The now derecognised Air Corporation Employees Union (ACEU) had in March threatened to strike work, demanding recruitment of cabin crew in view of the manpower crunch.
Manpower crunch was hitting flights operation badly as frequent disruptions were being caused by non-availability of cabin crew when flight slots demanded, they said.
