Air India a/c attached for failing to honour contract given to travel operator in Mumbai
Mumbai: An account of Air India maintained with a nationalised bank has been attached after the national airline failed to honour an arbitral award granted to a tours and travels operator for alleged breach of contract.
Harold Anthony Buthello, proprietor of Buthello Travels, had secured a three-year contract to provide staff transportation services. The contract stipulated around 47,000km per month, with a permissible variation of up to 20%. However, in 2017, Air India issued a revised schedule slashing the allocation to 23,400km per month, well below the agreed limit.
