Saturday, April 26 2003 14:15 Hrs (IST)
New Delhi: There is no disruption of flights of Indian Airlines (IA) to South East Asia in view of the threat of the Severe Acute Respiratory
Syndrome (SARS), with the management agreeing to the pilots' proposal to have a night stop for the crew at Bangkok instead of
Singapore.
The Indian Commercial Pilots Association (ICPA) and the IA management held talks over the past week, in which the pilots themselves
came up with a solution to have a night halt for the crew members at the Thai capital, an IA spokesman said.
Singapore has been the most affected by SARS so far.
He said the pilots' plan was accepted by the management and was already in operation. There has been no cancellation or disruption of
IA flights to South East Asia, he said.
Referring to reports, the spokesman said the pilots union had never served any notice of agitation on the issue and there has been no
dispute between them and the management.
