As Jet Airways continue to ground aircraft and cancel significant number of flights, the airline’s aircraft maintenance engineers’ union wrote to the aviation regulator on Tuesday that three months of salary was overdue to them and flight safety “is at risk”.
“It has been arduous for us to meet our financial requirements, result of which have adversely affected the psychological condition of Aircraft Engineers at work and therefore the safety of public transport airplanes being flown by Jet Airways across India and the world is at risk,” the Jet Aircraft Engineers Welfare Association (JAMEWA) said in a letter to the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA).
