Passengers stranded
Ananth Krishnan
CHENNAI: Around 50 passengers were left stranded at the Chennai airport on Monday morning as Deccan Airlines cancelled its flight to Vijayawada just an hour and a half before it was meant to take off. Airline sources said a “technical snag” had grounded the plane.
Passengers complained that they had been given no prior warning about the cancellation. They were informed when they arrived at the check-in counter. “Airlines are supposed to call passengers before-hand to inform them about delays let alone cancellations, but we were not able to make any alternate arrangements because we weren’t informed,” one passenger said.
Monday’s incident is the latest in an increasing trend of late cancellations by several airlines. D. Sudhakara Reddy, president, Air Passengers Association of India, said
“There have been more than half a dozen complaints just in the last two months.” Shortages of pilots, aircraft and inventories juxtaposed with increasingly intense airline schedules have worsened the problem.
