IndiGo to restore allowances for crew from July 31 as flight ops recover
India’s largest airline IndiGo on Friday reinstated the flying allowance of its pilots to pre-pandemic levels as its flight operations are recovering.
The airline will reinstate layover and deadhead allowances for pilots from July 31. However, the airline, which had made a partial reinstatement of salary for pilots, is yet to restore pre-covid salaries. Some allowances like night and over time allowances are also yet to be restored.
During a long flight, cabin crew and pilots often have to layover in other cities meaning they have to stay back in that city and are provided allowances and a hotel for the time they are there.
