Mumbai: Low-cost airline IndiGo on Monday told pilots — including captains, first officers and junior first officers — that it will reinstate their salaries to pre-Covid levels by November. This will be done in two increments of 6% each, in September and November.
Soon after the Covid-induced lockdown in March 2020, the airline revised its pay structure slashing salaries by 28-40%, according to pilots who spoke with Hindustan Times.
In an internal email to employees on Monday, senior vice-president of flight operations at IndiGo, Ashim Mittra, wrote, “Despite the fuel and foreign exchange costs remaining prohibitive, we are hopeful that we will continue to inch our way back to profitability and higher growth.
