How Air India Express Resolved Employee Strike and Stranded Passenger Crisis

Kochi ∙ Air India Express employees canceled the lightning strike that stranded thousands of passengers on the highway for 2 days. In a discussion mediated by the Chief Labor Commissioner in Delhi it was agreed that around 250 employees who had taken mass sick leave should return to work immediately. Representatives of the workers’ organization and company management were present.

The 25 employees fired yesterday for organizing a flash strike will be reinstated. Employees who have taken medical leave will return to work with a certificate of fitness. The company has assured that measures will be taken to resolve the issues raised by employees. The mediation meeting will be held again on the 28th.

Services will take at least 3 days to be fully operational. Even the small number of schedules will take the same amount of time to recover. Air India Express, headquartered in Gurugram, Haryana, is an airline that operates 380 services daily. The strike took place during the busiest period as it was a holiday. To resolve the crisis, Air India flights were also operated on around ten routes yesterday.
