Struggling private carrier Jet Airways has expressed inability to clear salary dues of its pilots, saying it can pay only the balance 87.50 per cent of December pay, amid the looming threat of halting of operations from April 1.
Meanwhile, the airline’s pilots body, the National Aviators Guild (NAG), has called an `open house’ of its members in New Delhi and Mumbai on Sunday. The pilots, who along with engineers and senior staff have not been paid for almost four months now, have said they will not fly from April if dues were not cleared and a roadmap on future payment was not provided by March 31.
“The board of directors and the management team are working as fast as possible to implement the resolution plan agreed with the consortium of Indian lenders to quickly restore the much-needed stability to our operations and build a sustainable future for the airline.
