AirIndia plans to more autonomy to its managers

New Delhi April 17: As we knew that, Shiv Sena MP Ravindra Gaikwad assaulted an Air India staffer in last month, from this perspective Air India plans to provide more autonomy to its managers at airports under a stricter framework being prepared to deal with unruly fliers.

The national carrier, as well as the govt, have been exploring ways to bolster the existing mechanism to rein in unruly passengers.

"The draft guidelines, which have been prepared with the assistance of Air India's legal department, are now with the CMD Ashwani Lohani for his approval. Once we get the go-ahead from him, we will make them public," official said.
