A major crisis at the struggling carrier Jet Airways was averted Sunday after its pilots’ body, National Aviator’s Guild (NAG), deferred till April 15 its call for halting operations.
The decision was taken at an open house meeting of NAG members which took place in both Mumbai and Delhi on Sunday afternoon, NAG president Karan Chopra told reporters after the meeting which lasted for about four hours.
The NAG, which claims to represent around 1,100 of the 1,600 Jet Airways pilots, had announced earlier that its members will not fly from April 1, unless their salary dues were cleared and clarity was provided on future payments by March 31.
