AirAsia India has slashed salary of its pilots by an average 40 per cent for May and June, an airline source said.
However, the quantum of reduction in pay for other categories and senior management remains at the April level, the source said.
The senior management at AirAsia India had taken a pay cut of 20 per cent in April, while the wages of executives falling in other categories were reduced by 7-17 per cent.
However, employees getting a salary of Rs 50,000 per month or less were spared.
AirAsia India — a joint venture between Tatas and AirAsia (Investment) Ltd — will be completing six years of operations next week. It has a workforce of around 2,500 people. As many as 600 of them are pilots for its 30 Airbus A320 aircraft fleet.
