Due to the earlier ground handling company’s allegedly declining performance standards,<\/strong> which are causing more of the carrier’s flights to be delayed each month, Air India has threatened to terminate its contract with them. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Between passenger and cargo check-in, boarding\/loading, and deplaning\/unloading<\/strong> from the plane, ground handling encompasses the whole spectrum of airport services, including the ramp, luggage handling, cargo handling, and cabin cleaning.<\/strong><\/pre>\n\n\n\n

Last year, the aviation-to-automobile behemoth Tata Sons bought the once government-run airline. It had divisions for each of its business operations, like ground handling, until the government sold it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
 Air India Air Transport Services Ltd is the organisation (AIASL<\/strong>). The shares were given to Air India Asset Holding, a holding company. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rajesh Dogra, Head of Customers Experience & Ground Handling Operations at Air India, wrote to Vikram Dev Dutt, Chairman of the Asset Holding Unit, that “AlASL services have continued to worsen significantly.” <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the letter, the ground handling unit is “perennially<\/strong>” understaffed. <\/p>
Other faults included “baggage mishandling,” “old, outdated, and defective ground handling equipment owing to ineffective maintenance,”<\/strong> inadequate training, the staff’s “behaviour with customers,” and other problems.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
In May, there were 12 percent of all flights that were delayed, up from 3.7 percent in October of the previous year. According to the letter, Air India had a total of 5,203 flights in May 2022 and 5,398 flights in October 2021. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Additionally, he stated that the airline \"would be obliged to discontinue\/scale down AlASL ground handling services at such airports<\/strong>... in accordance with the new service agreement between the airline and the ground handling unit developed after the Tatas took over.\" <\/pre>\n\n\n\n
