Air India, Akasa Air face-off over issue of pilot resignations
New Delhi: Amid concerns over alleged poaching of pilots, Air India told Akasa Air that petitioning a competitor to collude in restricting the rights of staff to change an employer could potentially violate the competition law.
Air India CEO and Managing Director Campbell Wilson wrote a letter to Akasa Air CEO Vinay Dube against the backdrop of Akasa Air raising concerns about Air India Express hiring pilots from the airline.
The letter, dated September 21, followed a letter by Dube to Tata Sons on September 11. Dube and Wilson had also spoken over a call.
