AI wins Best Int'l West Bound Airline out of India Award
 
 2006-12-04 16:33   Source : Moneycontrol.com 
 Air India, India’s flagship carrier, has been awarded with the “Best International West Bound Airline out of India” for the second consecutive year by Galileo Express Travel World Awards 2006 in New Delhi.  The Special Category Award recognizes the Most Significant Corporate Social Responsibility Initiative (CSR) taken by an organization. 


The Galileo Express Travel World Awards are conferred on all those in the Indian travel and tourism industry who aspire to reach the ultimate pinnacle of proven expertise. This year, Air India also adds an addiditional feather in the cap by being the recipient of the award in the Special Category (CSR). These CSR initiatives are in the areas of environmental conservation, social welfare, education and community development amongst others.


The Galileo Express Travel World Awards is now in the fourth edition this year.  Twenty two awards as against seventeen last year were announced.   Constant feedback and popular demand from the industry has seen the introduction of these five new award categories.   They have been carefully thought out and put together by an expert panel within the industry and the Editorial Advisory Board of the Indian Express Group, who have taken into consideration the feedback and suggestions after the last three editions of these Awards.  


Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, as research partners to these Awards, overlooked the data collection, evaluation process and ensured transparency.

When will Air India change its stupid website?


For a country that is constantly trumpeting its IT talent, the AI website is the worst possible showcase for it.  It hasn't been updated in years, but then neither have AI's aircraft, so I guess we can't ask for too much.

Air India reschedules flights to avoid fog
Mumbai, Dec 13 (UNI)
Air India will reschedule a few of its flights in order to minimise inconvenience to passengers, arising out of delays due to fog in the northern region.
 While there will be no change in flights to the US, the Delhi/Dhaka/Kolkata/London flights will originate from Mumbai and not from Delhi, a release issued here said today.
 In-bound flights from UK will, however, operate from Delhi and terminate in Mumbai. Similarly, the Toronto-bound flight via Amritsar and Birmingham will originate and terminate in Mumbai omitting Delhi in both directons.
 Seoul and Osaka-bound flights originating from Mumbai via Delhi and Hong Kong will depart an hour earlier than their original scheduled time while the Mumbai/Delhi/Bangkok/Shanghai flights will operate three hours, 15 minutes behind schedule, the release said.
 There will be no change in the Jeddah/Lucknow/Delhi and Mumbai/Muscat/Abu Dhabi/Delhi flight schedules.
 The Delhi/Lucknow/Delhi flight will not be operational during the fog period, the air carrier stated, adding that AI-638/639 Delhi/Amritsar/Delhi flights stand cancelled till the end of the fog period.
 Air India has also established an Operations Contingency Cell (OCC) for effective handling of flights from Delhi during the anticipated fog period (Dec 15-Feb 15) comprising of 21 executive pilots who will work in shifts and be easily accessible.
 The main functions of the OCC are to obtain weather data, make assessment of the forecasts, to liason closely with the ATC and MET departments and to advise the flight monitoring and control team.  
 The OCC will also undertake rescheduling of flights which are likely to be affected by poor visibility conditions in consultation with Mumbai or re-routing of flights where rescheduling is not possible.
 It will also optimise aircraft and crew utilisation between Mumbai and Delhi at the time of disposal of stranded passengers.
 Air India has also strengthened its Delhi and Mumbai call centres through additional temporary recruitment and important passenger information will be incorporated in ‘Namaskar’ magazine and the Air India website.
 Other measures include passenger luggage being forwarded on the first available flight in case of flight diversions to Mumbai, mini-booking offices in both cities which can be approached for re-issuance and other fog-related reservation activity and facilitation of hotel accommodation.


Food will also be served at restaurants in order to cut down aircraft time on the ground in some caases.
