To minimise the influence of fog-related flight disruptions, Air India on Saturday stated it can proactively attain out to passengers and supply them the choice to reschedule or cancel their impacted flights freed from price.

The Tatas-owned airline has launched the ‘FogCare’ initiative to mitigate the influence of disruptions as a consequence of fog on passengers, and it will likely be initially for the flights departing from and arriving at Delhi airport.

The initiative is to proactively attain out to passengers whose flights have been badly impacted and are prone to be cancelled in periods of fog. Such passengers can determine whether or not to journey to the airport or not, and keep away from the inconvenience of lengthy waits.

They may have the choice to reschedule or cancel their impacted flights at no additional price.

In a launch, the airline stated the hassle may also assist in easing congestion at the airports.

“Customer-friendly e-mails, calls, and SMS with flight-specific advisories will be sent to passengers on impacted flights, giving them easy options to minimise inconvenience due to fog-related disruptions,” it stated.

According to Air India, it’s also guaranteeing satisfactory availability of plane, pilots, upkeep, and cabin crew to have the ability to cope with fog-related exigencies. “With a fully trained cockpit crew, that is equipped with the capability to operate in low visibility conditions through the CAT-III Instrument Landing System (ILS), Air India has geared up to minimise disruption due to fog,” the discharge stated.
