In a strategic move, Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia has revealed a comprehensive 6-point plan aimed at reducing flight delays across six major metro airports. The plan encompasses the establishment of war rooms at these airports, among other measures, signalling a proactive approach to enhance the efficiency and punctuality of air travel in India.

The introduction of war rooms is a notable highlight of the plan, emphasising real-time monitoring and decision-making to address and mitigate factors contributing to flight delays. This initiative aligns with the government's commitment to improving the overall aviation experience and ensuring smoother operations at key metro airports.

The 6-point plan reflects a multi-faceted strategy, incorporating technology, coordination, and streamlined processes to tackle the complex challenges associated with flight delays. As air travel continues to play a crucial role in India's transportation landscape, Scindia's initiative is poised to have a positive impact on passenger experience, airline operations, and the broader efficiency of the aviation sector.
