BENGALURU: Over 150 pilots, in-flight crew members, engineers and ground staff working with Jet Airways banded together for a peaceful protest at Town Hall on Monday demanding the central government’s intervention in keeping the airline afloat.
Donning their uniforms and armed with banners and placards that read ‘Save Jet Airways’, a majority of the staffers said they’re still hoping to fly again.
“Over 20,000 Jet Airways employees across India and 500 in Bengaluru have been hit by the recent developments. This protest is an appeal to the authorities concerned to save us from this situation. Staff members across the spectrum have been reporting to work every day but have no work with all operations being temporarily suspended,” said Harish Shenoy, general manager, Jet Airways, Bengaluru.
“Families of the employees are also a part of this organisation, hence, save Jet Airways and save our families,” said Sunith James, a member of the cabin crew.
