Flight delays: Aviation ministry to set up war rooms at six metro airports
Jyotiraditya Scindia tweeted on January 16 that the ministry has sought incidence reporting thrice daily for all the 6 metro airports.
It may be mentioned here that the SOPs were issued on January 15, following major fog-induced flight schedule disruptions — particularly at the Delhi airport.
The implementation of the directives by aviation regulator DGCA and the abovementioned SOPs will be monitored and reported regularly, the minister tweeted.
Under the new directives, airports and aviation players will set up «war rooms» at the 6 Metro Airports. These facilities will immediately address any issues related to passenger inconvenience caused by flight disruptions.
Besides, sufficient CISF manpower availability will be ensured round-the-clock, the minister added.
