“There is no information, they should at least inform us that there is a strike. I got up early in the morning and came here now they are saying flight is cancelled. We really don’t know what to do,” said, K Wasan, passenger.
As the strike was called all of a sudden the passengers are in a fix as they don’t know what to do because they are given an information on when the flights would resume. “They gave us no information but we read in the newspaper that there is going to be strike. But when we asked them they did not tell us that the flights would be cancelled or delayed. They said if the crew comes then the flight will take off but they cannot give a definite answer,” said, passenger.
