IndiGo CEO rolls back pay cuts for senior staff members

IndiGo CEO Ronojoy Dutta on Thursday informed the employees that the airline has decided to roll back the pay cuts, which were announced in March last week for senior staff members for the month of April in deference to the “government’s wishes,” as per media reports.

Dutta told employees through an email, which was cited in the agency report: “However, your Excom (Executive Committee) members and SVPs (senior vice presidents) have volunteered to take pay cuts this month. For everyone else, you can expect your April salaries to be paid without the pay cuts.”

The prolonged lockdown across the world has taken a massive toll on the travel and tourism industry, which has severely impacted revenues of the Indian aviation industry. All domestic and international flights have been suspended during this lockdown.
