Air India Express cabin crew raise concerns about room sharing during layovers, here’s what airline says

Scores of cabin crew members at Air India Express have voiced their concerns regarding the decision to implement room sharing during layovers. The crew contends that this move presents challenges in obtaining uninterrupted rest before flight duty, while the airline has stated that room sharing is consistent with the market practices followed by many other carriers.

Air India Express’ cabin crew members were previously provided individual rooms at five-star or four-star hotels during layovers. The recent decision now involves sharing one room between two cabin crew members. This adjustment comes as part of the ongoing merger process between Air India Express and AIX Connect (formerly AirAsia India), both owned by the Tata Group.
