no your flights won't be impacted..or atleast this is what reports are saying as of now..
Mumbai and Delhi airports are already privatized and hence least impacted by the strike so no major cause of worry... You have to got to a different terminal to catch the domestic flight.. |

shashank's right. Privatised airports will not have a problem but reports are still slightly vague.
I dont know what the issue in Cochin would be though....as far as i remember that's not a pvt airport...maybe u can call ahead once and ask the staff there... |

News report
Airports function normally despite agitation
India Infoline News Service / Mumbai Mar 12, 2008 14:48 Services at Delhi and Mumbai airports are not likely to be affected because they have been privatised. Chennai and Kolkata airports too have seen no disruption Flights and other normal operations at various airports around the country remained largely insulated by the indefinite non-cooperation move called by the Airport Authority of India (AAI) employees. Airports throughout the country are functioning normally, according to a top official of AAI, which runs most of the country's airports. Services at Delhi and Mumbai airports are not likely to be affected because they have been privatised. Still, the Government has invoked the Essential Services & Maintenance Act (ESMA) at the Indira Gandhi International Airport. There was no disruption of domestic or international flights at Chennai and Kolkata airports either. http://www.indiainfoline.com/news/in...=61696&lm n=1 |
