Nagpur: Over 380 staffers of Airports Authority of India, working at Dr Ambedkar International Airport, are not willing to join the joint venture company to be formed by Maharashtra Airport Development Company and Airports Authority of India to run the international airport and cargo hub at Nagpur.
It may be mentioned here the Union cabinet recently granted in principle approval to transfer Nagpur airport to the proposed joint venture company (JVC) for development of a multi-modal passenger and cargo hub and assured all staff of the Airports Authority of India working at Nagpur airport except communication, navigation and surveillance (CNS) and air traffic management (ATM) will be transferred to the JVC and their salaries will be borne by the JVC.
These arrangements will continue for five years and at the end of this period, the JVC shall absorb 100 per cent of the staff. Speaking to TOI on condition of anonymity some of the staff members said, "We will not get the pay and perks at present given by AAI management with most important aspect of job assurance."
