More than 400 members of the Jet Airways ground staff on Friday marched to the head office while anxious customers queued outside the airline’s ticket counter at Mumbai airport, seeking refunds for cancelled flights.
Jet extended its international flight cancellations till Monday and operated only nine planes on domestic routes on Friday. In Mumbai the airline used to have more than 140 daily departures and on Friday there were only two take-offs because the airline is left with little money for operations.
“There is no clarity on what is going on in the airline. Should we stay longer or look for another job,” asked Vikas Vishwakarma, a ground staff member as he marched with his colleagues.
