A woman, whose husband was in an ICU in Oman following a severe heart attack, was unable to see him before he died there due to the cancellation of her Air India Express flight to the Gulf nation last week, her family alleged. Amrita had booked tickets for May 8 to see her husband in Muscat, but on reaching the airport here, she was told that the flight was cancelled.
Her protest at the airport earned her a ticket for the next day on another Air India Express flight, but unfortunately, that was cancelled as well, and she had to abandon her travel plans altogether.
"It was so unfair that she could not see him one last time. We begged the airline to accommodate us on some other flight so that we could see him for one last time. But they did not do anything," Amrita's mother told a TV channel.
"They said their flights for the next four days were full, and they cannot do anything," she said.
On May 10, the strike by a section of the cabin crew was called off and the airline also withdrew termination letters issued to 25 striking cabin crew.
