Employees of Jet Airways on Saturday met Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley in New Delhi with an appeal that the airline be saved from permanent closure.
Accompanied by Maharashtra Finance Minister Sudhir Mungantiwar, Jet Airways CEO Vinay Dube and CFO Amit Agarwal, the employees, comprising pilots, cabin crew, engineers and ground staff, handed over a letter highlighting the plight of employees in the wake of the airline temporarily suspending flight operations.
It was learnt that the employees appealed to Mr. Jaitley to ensure that at least a month’s salary is paid since many had EMIs to pay and families to support.
