Air India Express faced disruptions as it canceled five flights on four routes departing from Kolkata on Friday. These cancellations were part of a broader crisis stemming from cabin crew-related issues, according to an airline spokesperson.
The affected routes included flights between Kolkata and Hyderabad, as well as routes to Chennai, Cochin, and Ayodhya. Despite efforts to resolve the situation, a total of 120 flights, both domestic and international, were canceled nationwide on Friday.
While the cabin crew strike had been called off on Thursday, operational challenges persisted due to logistical complexities associated with rostering and re-rostering staff. The airline anticipated that it would take approximately one-and-a-half days for operations to return to normal.

Although cabin crew members began reporting back to work, their inclusion in flight operations required adherence to various technical and administrative procedures, including medical check-ups and roster adjustments.
The strike, which involved a sudden mass sick leave by a section of cabin crew starting Tuesday night, resulted in the cancellation of over 170 flights. However, with the strike called off and termination letters rescinded, efforts were underway to address the underlying issues related to alleged mismanagement within the airline.
