BENGALURU: Ananya (name changed), who has been ground staff with Jet Airways for nearly 27 years, will go to work at the Kempegowda International Airport for the next couple of days before taking a break like most of her colleagues.
The number of Jet staff at KIA has dropped from 142 to just four or five, say employees. Ananya, a manager, and many like her who continue to work despite rapid developments including grounding of planes and non-availability of funding for operations, are facing an uncertain future. They’re also staring at unpaid bills, pending EMIs, shrinking savings and loss of job security.
“Our EMIs are pending and we can’t meet our daily expenses. Since we’re senior management, it’s difficult to find jobs in other companies,” said Ananya, who hasn’t got her salary since February.
