As the agitation by Air India's executive pilots entered the second day, more than 20 flights are cancelled including six international ones. Seven domestic flights to Nagpur, Chennai, Mumbai and Ahmedabad, Kolkata, Lucknow, Srinagar, Raipur and six international ones to Dubai, Bangkok, Kathmandu, Singapore and Kabul remained cancelled as the pilots of these airlines reported sick.

Air India (domestic) pilots are on strike.  Air India on Saturday (September 26)  cancelled 15 flights, including three international ones, after the agitating pilots refused to report to their duty.

"Keeping in view the agitation by the executive (senior) pilots, we reduced our seat availability from 37,000 to 22,000 per day," Air India spokesperson Jitendra Bhargava said.

Only Air India (domestic) pilots are participating in the strike. So all the 'long all' flights are operating as per normal schedule, Bhargava said.

Air India CMD Arvind Jadhav will meet the agitating pilots in Mumbai to address their concerns, the airlines management said in a statement.

However, the pilots were in denial mode saying that any negotiation would take place only when the management withdraws the directive of a cut in their productivity linked incentives (PLIs).

If such a situation go in future then it is a big fall of tourism in India and no body will travel due to headache given by the airlines and railway department to the passengers. Central government is totally fails to maintain the present tourism. The government and ministers must travel and look in to the present situation of flights and trains.
