1. Air India passengers breathe easy

The code-sharing confusion between Air India (AI) and Indian (IC) flights since 2007, after AI and IC merged into National Aviation Company of India Limited (NACIL), is due to be resolved by mid-February.

“Passengers on the AI network will no longer have to travel on separate tickets for domestic and international flights following the successful trials of the new single ticket reservation system,” said a spokesperson for AI.

The new system was developed by SITA, one of the world’s leading specialist in air transport communications and information technology solutions.

Besides AI code tickets, passengers will be able to reconcile their baggage from only one airline, can do kiosk check-in and cellphone check-ins.

2. Air India pilots seek minister's intervention in resolving problems

A section of Air India pilots today sought intervention of civil aviation minister Vayalar Ravi, saying the airline management was "not serious" about addressing their concerns and trying to precipitate industrial action.

The Indian Commercial Pilots Association (ICPA), which was called for a meeting with Air India CMD Arvind Jadhav in Mumbai today, is understood to have shot off a letter to the minister after the meeting failed to take place and sought his intervention in the matter.

While the ICPA represents pilots of the erstwhile Indian Airlines, the Indian Pilots Guild represents the cockpit crew of the erstwhile Air India.

Alleging that the CMD did not meet their representatives as scheduled "despite being present in his office", ICPA sources said it showed Jadhav was "not serious about addressing our concerns and in fact precipitating industrial action against the best interest of the airline".

The ICPA wanted "urgent intervention" by Ravi at the earliest so as to avoid any "unwarranted" industrial action.

The sources said if there was no response from the government, the ICPA could go ahead with serving notices for non-cooperation and other industrial action soon which may affect flights.

Soon after taking over charge last week, the new civil aviation minister had sought the support of all employees of ailing Air India to restore its lost glory and said the staff and the management should work in coordination to achieve this.

3. Fighting for their claims

Dubai: "Will he do something or will the injustice continue?"
That was the question on the mind of Abdul Rahman, a Dubai-based executive who lost his wife and nine-year-old son in the May 2010 Mangalore air crash that killed 158 people, as he prepared to meet Vyalar Ravi, India's new Aviation Minister, in Dubai on Wednesday.
Rahman, who met Ravi along with other UAE-based families of the crash victims, appealed for the immediate settlement of compensation for families of the crash victims in light of the stalemate between them and the airline over compensation.
Memorandum submitted
Rafeeq Eroth, president of the UAE-based Malabar Pravasi Co-ordination Committee (MPCC), said around 30 families in the UAE had sought justice in a memorandum signed by M.G. Pushpakaran, chairman of the MPCC action council for the Mangalore air tragedy. It stated that families wanted compensation to be calculated based on the Montreal Convention 1999. "We understand that by India acceding to the Montreal Convention, the dependents of the victims are legally eligible to get $140,000 (Dh514,220). In case it's the fault of the airline, relatives can claim more than $140,000," it said. "In this case, the probe stated that the fault is of the Air India pilot."
Air India and insurance agents wanted dues to be settled based on victims' incomes, but the memorandum stated it would be difficult to arrive at the exact income, as the salary mentioned in labour contracts is "much lower than what the victims were actually drawing". Many were part of businesses operating under the sponsorship of Emiratis "without any proof of ownership to the deceased."

4. Jeppesen, India’s Jet Airways Sign 5 Year EFB Class 2 Contract

Jeppesen recently agreed to a five-year electronic flight bag (EFB), tailored digital charting and navigation service renewal contract with Jet Airways, a leading commercial carrier based in India.
