The employee union at AI Engineering Services Limited (AIESL), India’s largest aircraft Maintenance, Repair, and Operations (MRO) company, issued a strike threat on April 23. Their concerns are primarily around the lack of promotions, low wages, and stringent conditions in the new service agreement.
This signals a recurrence of discontent among AIESL employees, reminiscent of the strike in March 2022 when almost 1,700 staff walked out, causing disruptions to Air India’s flights, which depend on its services.
