TN Minister Seeks Airbus Aircraft Deployment on Domestic Routes
The Health Minister of Tamil Nadu wants the government to allow bigger airplanes, called Airbus, to fly on some domestic routes like Madurai and Tuticorin.
Right now, smaller planes, ATRs, are used.
Passengers are often forced to stand on shuttle buses due to inadequate seating, especially senior citizens and children.
The minister wants these Airbus aircraft, which carry more passengers, to fly on these routes.
This is because the planes park far away, making passengers use shuttle buses.
The minister seeks a solution to enhance passenger amenities.
