Sudden protest: Indian Airlines employees staging a dharna at Begumpet Airport on Friday.

HYDERABAD: A section of Indian Airlines employees resorted to a flash strike at the Begumpet airport on Friday afternoon following the Centre’s decision to stop operations from Saturday midnight. The strike was however called off later in the night. Employees of the Airports Authority of India had also participated in the strike.

The Ministry of Civil Aviation, on Thursday, had announced commencement of commercial operations from 12.25 a.m. on Sunday at the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport, Shamshabad.

Passengers travelling in Air India flights had to face some inconvenience following absence of ground handling staff.

However, officials claimed that flight movements went as per schedule.
