CHENNAI: Employees of the Jet Airways staged a silent protest here on Thursday urging the government and lenders to come forward to make the grounded airline operational again.
Clad in their uniform, employees of the cash-strapped airline gathered at Pallavaram near the airport and held placards like “Save Jet Airways, Save our future,” and “We pay loads of tax, don’t put us under the axe.”
“We appeal to the government and bankers to be compassionate and come forward to help so that Jet Airways becomes operational again,” Bala, a representative of the employees, told reporters here.
He said investors as well should come forward to lend a helping hand to the employees and “trust us and give us an opportunity we will ensure manifold growth of the airline.”
