I fully endorse letter by M D Master which appeared in Asian Voice dated 2nd May.
During my visit to Ahmadavad airport to receive my relatives to attend marriage in Anand.
The Air India flight which was suppose to touch at 9.30 am was delayed due to some technical problem.We were informed by security man but no Air India officers were available. I myself tried to see the manager of the airport but he had no idea. I requested the securityman and pointed to Air India cabin to ask someone to come out and update about the delay as this flight was from London to Ahmedavad via Mumbai. All visitors waited for hours but there was no update from concern officers.
Finally after waiting for almost 15 hours one gentleman Mr Mankat came out of his office and said all these UK passengers will be coming next day flight. We all visitors requested Mr Mankad to put a detailed information about this flight no AI 131 (10 Feb) on notice board which he did but after 2 odd hours.
One young man from Air India whom I approched at 9 PM was helpful and he(Mr Abdul Hafgi) asked me the name of the passenger and told me that she has been offered hotel accomodation in Mumbai and she is flying in next day at 9.30 am.
Another point which annoyed me were the porters at the same airport. My brother in law who is a pensioner and disable was on wheel chair was demanded £10 by the porter and was not accepting in rupees though the service is free, but these porters try to fleece passengers and demand money.
