Covid-19 updates: Air India will vaccinate all its staff by May-end
National carrier Air India has said that it will complete the vaccination of all its employees by May-end. The announcement comes after its pilot body threatened to stop flying if the crew is not vaccinated.
On Tuesday, Air India narrow-body aircraft pilots’ body ICPA had demanded vaccination camps across the country for the flying crew on a priority basis.
In a letter to Air India director for operations R S Sandhu, the Indian Commercial Pilots Association (ICAP) threatened to stop work if the management fails to come up with such camps. The pilot body alleged that many crews have been tested positive for Covid-19 and are struggling to get oxygen cylinders.
