IndiGo suspends some pilots for planning pay cut protest leave tomorrow

NEW DELHI: Some IndiGo pilots have been suspended for planning protests against the continued pandemic-time pay cuts.
The pilots were planning to go on a mass leave on Tuesday to protest the about 28% pay cuts till last month.
From April, the cuts were to be reduced to 20% as the airline — India’s only carrier with cash reserves — had restored 8% cuts and had promised to restore another 6.5% from November 1, 2022, if there were no further interruptions to operations due to Covid or any other reason.
“We confirm that a handful of IndiGo pilots have been suspended from duty for indulging in activities that are in contravention to the terms of their employment and in violation of the code of conduct of the company,” IndiGo said in a statement.
