Air India cabin crew complain that airline’s new policy on shared hotel rooms will impact their rest requirements

Here is a summary of the content in 100 words:

Air India has announced that most cabin crew must share hotel rooms during layovers, sparking concerns over rest and privacy. The policy change will affect crew and senior cabin crew, who will now be assigned twin-sharing rooms, while senior staff will have single rooms. Employees have expressed concerns over how this policy will impact their rest, health, and performance. Experts warn that fatigue can impact safety, and shared hotel rooms can lead to varied rest schedules and disruptions. Other Indian airlines, such as IndiGo and SpiceJet, also have cabin crew sharing hotel rooms, but these airlines do not operate long-haul international flights.
