Air India pilot bodies seek meeting with aviation minister on privatization
Flag carrier Air India’s pilot bodies–IPG and ICPA — on Tuesday sought appointment with civil aviation minister Hardeep Singh Puri for a clarity on the proposed disinvestment amid the government preparing to exit from the airline business.
The government for long has been trying to sell debt- ridden airline but could not attract bidders. It has now again decided to call bids for sale next month.
The pilot bodies, in a communication to Puri, said that the airline management appraised it of the status of disinvestment during a recent meeting but it did not provide any clarity on pending issues or provide any roadmap with regards to the future of employees as a result of this disinvestment process.
