New Delhi. Air India Express, a low-cost airline company, has dismissed its employees who went on mass leave. Air India Express has decided to fire its employees, blaming them for violating the terms and conditions of employment and causing harm to the work. Many employees of Air India Express had taken leave en masse from Tuesday night citing sudden illness. Due to this, more than 90 flights of Air India Express were either delayed or had to be cancelled. This action of the employees has had a significant impact on the domestic and international airlines of Air India Express. There is every possibility of a major impact on the airline’s service in the next few days.
Air India Express CEO Alok Singh said that more than 100 cabin crew reported ill at the very last moment before the scheduled flight. This affected operations. According to the latest information, Air India Express services are likely to remain disrupted for the next few days. The company has requested all the passengers taking tickets to go to the airport only after getting information about their flight in advance. Air India Express has also decided that the full amount will be refunded to the passengers who want to cancel their tickets. Those who wish to travel will be given space on the next available flight.
After getting information about this unprecedented situation suddenly created in Air India Express, the Civil Aviation Ministry has sought a detailed report.
