Air India's hospitality to minister forces children to sleep on floor at Paris airport

Paris, June 19 (IBNS) Indian national carrier Air India has been caught into a controversy as its sole attention to the hospitality of the country's Civil Aviation Minister has left 40 Indian school students ignored, forcing them to spend night sleeping on floor at the Paris airport.

According to media-reports, Air India, being busy in extending luxurious hospitality towards Union Civil Aviation Minister Ashok Gajapathi Raju in Paris, failed in its duty to arrange suitable accommodation for a group of children who had to spend a troublesome night at Paris airport  because of cancellation of AI's Paris-New Delhi flight.
 

 Even otherwise rules and international norms require suitable accommodation for passengers by concerned airlines in the event of cancellation or abnormal delay of flights.
 

Media reports also point out about several children in the group reaching New Delhi in bad conditions because of alleged negligence of Air India authorities at Paris airport.
