Ashok Gajapathi Raju, Minister for Civil Aviation, Government of India,
has cracked the whip on the ailing, state-owned carrier Air India
issuing instructions to it to shape up. The Minister wants a better
On-Time Performance (OTP), a younger crew and better discipline, as per a
Financial Express report by Roudra Bhattacharya.
Aware that voluntary retirement schemes don’t work, the Minister has asked the airline to reduce the staff strength by redeploying some 2,000 excess employees in other units of the Aviation Ministry like the Airports Authority of India (AAI) that are short-staffed. The redeployment will be an ongoing exercise, according to the guidelines issued by the Minister.
Raju has issued instructions to have younger cabin crew members, at par with those of rival airlines; the older lot is to be shifted to ground operations. He has also said that indiscipline, which leads to flight delays, must be tackled firmly.
