The Delhi High Court on Wednesday dismissed the Air India’s petitions challenging the two arbitral awards of 2016 that ruled in favour of its two employee associations – All India Aircraft Engineers’ Association and Indian Aircraft Technicians Association.
The arbitration related to a long-standing dispute that arose almost 15 years ago between Air India’s predecessor-in-interest Indian Airlines and its employees over issues of service conditions and wage revisions after the merger. Air India has now been privatised through its sale to the Tata Group.
