"Yes, we are having discussions amongst the senior management on whether we should look at compensation for the loss of business. We have a symbiotic relationship and it is a sensitive issue. Let the crisis get over and flight operations stabilise, then we will take a final call. We will get a complete picture once all flights are back, which might take some few days," says a senior executive of a large private airport operator, who did not wish to be named.
