Vinod Kannan, chief executive of Vistara airline, is meeting pilots on Wednesday to resolve a deadlock caused by them going on mass sick leave and disrupting flights, NDTV reported. The meeting is reportedly scheduled for 1 pm.
Vistara, a joint venture between Tatas and Singapore Airlines, is witnessing dozens of flight cancellations and major delays from the past two days, after scores of pilots suddenly called in sick. The pilots’ move was aimed to lodge their protest over the revised pay contract that would result from the proposed merger of the airline with Tata-owned Air India.
