The Delhi High Court has directed Air India to inform it whether the airline can, in an interim arrangement, pay a month’s salary to the pilots who have challenged the termination of their contractual employment during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Justice Prathiba M Singh asked the lawyer appearing for the airline to seek instructions “for payment of one month’s salary immediately, as an ad-interim arrangement, especially in view of the difficulties being faced by the petitioners (pilots) during the COVID-19 pandemic”.
