Aviation minister holds review meeting; asks airlines to inform passengers on flight delays

NEW DELHI: Civil Aviation Minister K Rammohan Naidu on Wednesday held a review meeting with various stakeholders on fog preparedness and asked airlines to proactively inform passengers about flight delays as well as ensure check-in counters are fully staffed to help minimise travel disruptions.

Also, passengers will be allowed to exit from an aircraft through an airport departure gate in case there is a long delay in operating the flight after boarding, as per norms issued earlier this year.

“The preparations for managing visibility-related challenges this winter are moving in the right direction with good progress made in resolving the bottlenecks,” the civil aviation ministry said in a release.
