Chennai , Sept 27

THE Airports Authority of India (AAI) has put a contingency plan in view of the strike by its employees from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. on September 29. Exporters and agents have been advised to clear export cargo on Wednesday, a day before the nationwide strike by the AAI.

At a meeting, AAI officials said that additional officers would be available after 3 p.m. on Thursday. Since most of the palletisation is done by contract labour, no problem is foreseen on this front, sources said.

On the import front, preference will be given to line flights over freighters.

Officers will be available to clear human remains and life-saving medicine. However, for general imports, operators and security staff will not be available for delivery.

Since banks are also on strike, cash collections will also be affected.

After the strike is over, additional staff from administration will be deployed to clear import backlog.
