Jet Airways’ pilots approach Labour Min on salary arrears

New Delhi, Mar 15 () The pilots’ union of crisis-hit Jet Airways has approached the government flagging concerns about salary arrears, saying that the situation is leading to extreme tension and frustration, according to a letter.
The cash-strapped full service airline has been making delayed salary payment for the last few months and has also defaulted on loan repayments.

Against this backdrop, the National Aviator’s Guild (NAG) — a grouping of over 1,000 pilots of Jet Airways — has written to Labour Minister Santosh Gangwar.

In the letter, dated March 6, the grouping has raised concerns about persistent delay in salary payment of member pilots.
