Statement of the Secretary, Civil Aviation on Air India pilots issues
Following is the full text of the statement of Shri M. Madhavan Nambiar, Secretary, Civil Aviation on Air India pilots issues:

“The Air India management has not taken any decision on the cut of PLI or any allowance for the unionized section of employees. Decision regarding the executive employees will be taken only after the committee setup to look into this matter has examined all aspects in consultation with employees.

The disruption of the flights is causing immense problem to the traveling public and bringing disrepute to the airline. In these circumstances the pilots and all employees must cooperate with the management for the turnaround of the airline.

Though the Government support is coming, it must be linked to a problem turnaround plan including cost cutting and revenue enhancement.

We will advise the management to enter into a comprehensive dialogue with all sections of employees. This strike must end immediately in the interest of the public and this will also stand the airline in good state for future Government support.”
