Airport staff strike on March 11

New Delhi: The employees’ union of the state-run Airports Authority of India (AAI) on Monday called an all-India strike at AAI-run airports on March 11 to protest against the government’s move to hand over the management and operation of four airports — Kolkata, Chennai, Jaipur and Ahmedabad —possibly on a contract basis to private operators.

The decision to call a strike on March 11 was taken at a meeting of the joint forum of AAI associations on Friday.
