Kolkata airport's 24-day passenger-centric Yatri Sewa Abhiyan concluded on Saturday, 10 October 2026, with airport director Vikram Singh calling it an operational blueprint for service excellence beyond the campaign period. The drive, launched by the Airports Authority of India on 17 September, focused on improving travel experience through timely assistance, clearer guidance and enhanced amenities.

The Tiruchi International Airport also concluded its four-week campaign on Saturday, 10 October 2026, as part of the same nationwide initiative. Airport director G. Gopalakrishnan said passenger feedback and service initiatives were assessed to identify areas for further improvement. Both airports said the mission to deliver responsive service will continue as a sustained operational priority.
Both outlets report the Yatri Sewa Abhiyan as a straight factual wrap-up of a completed AAI campaign. Times of India leads with the Kolkata airport director's blueprint framing and the felicitation event, while The Hindu leads with the feedback-and-review process at Tiruchi and lists specific focus areas such as waste reduction and amenities for elderly passengers. The two reports cover different airports in identical neutral-report style, so no competing editorial slant is present. The sustained improvement commitment named by both directors is the concrete next step the sources leave open.
