@IndiGo6E @DGCAIndia

Today’s @IndiGo6E experience would have been a joke if it didn’t feel insidious. We were delayed 8.5 hours at BOM with zero communication and no ground staff in sight. After finally taking off, we spent another hour circling DEL waiting for a parking bay. (1/n)

@IndiGo6E At the moment, all said and done, we may need to continue flying with IndiGo - but it will be with reluctance, and a sense of trepidation. (n/n)

@IndiGo6E We really need, and the regulator must enable: • more landing slots for Air India and Akasa • more competition overall via newer airlines • zero compromise on safety — no matter who’s pressuring whom. (5/n)

@IndiGo6E India’s aviation sector is essentially a duopoly right now, with IndiGo holding dominant power and treating customer service like an afterthought. (4/n)

@IndiGo6E If true, that’s extremely alarming. My sympathy is with the crew stuck in the middle, but the airline’s management has shown shockingly poor competence and disregard for customers. (3/n)

Passengers showed remarkable patience despite growing frustration. Several IndiGo pilots dead-heading on the same flight said they believe this chaos is deliberately engineered — a pressure tactic to force the regulator to roll back recent, safety-focused crew duty limits. (2/n)

@airindia My Vistara vouchers have disappeared after the merger. What's my recourse? Merging Vistara and AI will have case studies on the wrong kind of mergers - destroying a highly reputable and trusted brand (Vistara) with one that has no credibility nor trust among customers.

@rd25sep @aviationbrk @MoCA_GoI @airindia @JM_Scindia this is truly appalling. Even if you consider some transition time for improving management at AI after divestment, this sort of a situation (and behaviour, or lack thereof by staff) defies logic and requires immediate action

@aviationbrk @aviationbrk nothing changes in AirIndia ever. A flight late by 11 hours. No intimation of delay by airline people. No help in taking care of kids travelling on plane stuck inside the aircraft for more than 5 hours.

@narendramodi nightmare travel on Air India flight 886 fr Goa to Delhi. A flight that was supposed to depart at 2pm on 14-01-24, departs after a delay of > 11 hours at 1:30 am on 15-01-24 and after landing in Delhi at 4:30 am we are still in plane on tarmac runway at 6:30 AM.

On the sidelines of the 3️⃣rd #SFWG Meeting in #Mahabalipuram, the #G20India delegates took part in a workshop that shed light on policy measures and financial instruments for catalysing the rapid development & deployment of green and low-carbon technologies.

AND IT'S A WRAP!! This year more than 2500 people registered for 54 events with 25+ speakers on board, a success for #ClimateStartupWeek 2022. The amount of interest you have shown in #pitchevents, #webinars, #expert panels, and #networking events has been overwhelming.

In the 2010s, adult flu vaccine uptake never broke 50%. It's so predictable that we don't even make shots for 1/3 of the population. A lot of that is because people don't take flu seriously. But folks, you should and I'll tell you why. Here's the FULL case for flu vaccination🧵

Incredibly promising to see such a large acceleration of venture capital investment into climate tech (h/t @azeem)

Dear ambassador @AmbWieserIndia require your urgent assistance for Indian Junior National Team visa for World Cups and World Championships in Austria! @austria_rodel Athletes have been waiting in Delhi for long! 🙏🏽🙏🏽 @WeAreTeamIndia @FIL_Luge @MFA_Austria @DrSJaishankar @M_Lekhi

The emissions of rich US Americans are extreme to the point of being violent. Also, emissions in China are a fraction of the Western average. Even the rich emit *less than the poorest 50%* of Anglo-Americans. An important corrective to Western narratives. ft.com/content/4788be…

If we want to reduce greenhouse gas emissions we should not be paying people to burn fossil-fuels. #COP26

WOW The @IEA just published a new forecast for renewable growth It is… * 25% higher than Nov20 forecast * 40% above May 2020 The IEA says it's "exceptional" – but also the "new normal" It means renewables will account for 90% of *all* new capacity carbonbrief.org/exceptional-ne…

This new paper in Nature is a real breakthrough. It suggests that if we want to achieve the 1.5C climate target without relying on risky negative emissions schemes or speculative assumptions about GDP/energy decoupling, we need degrowth in rich countries. nature.com/articles/s4146…
