Vistara introduced new agreements for pilots
Vistara, which is undergoing merger plans with Air India, has introduced new agreements for pilots. But many Vistara pilots are opposing it as the fixed component of compensation has been reduced and emphasis has been placed on flight-linked incentives. In the last few weeks, Vistara’s flight operations have been affected due to non-availability of crew and many flights have had to be cancelled. On this, aviation regulator DGCA has asked the airline to submit a daily report.
On flight cancellation, Vistara has said that we are offering alternative flights and refunds to the affected customers. We know that all this is causing inconvenience to passengers. For this we sincerely apologize.
