IndiGo’s technicians go on sick leave in Hyderabad, Delhi over low wages

A sizeable number of IndiGo’s aircraft maintenance technicians went on sick leave during the last two days in Hyderabad and Delhi to protest against their low salaries, sources said on Sunday.

On July 2, around 55 per cent of IndiGo’s domestic flights were delayed as a significant number of its cabin crew members took sick leave, with sources in the industry saying they ostensibly went for Air India’s recruitment drive.

IndiGo had cut salaries of a large section of its employees when the COVID-19 pandemic was at its peak.
