Flying allowance issue: AI forms 4 committees

Mumbai: With a majority of employee unions spurning the Air India management's proposal to slash productivity-linked incentives/flying allowance by 50 per cent, four committees have now been set up to focus on specific segments to review the whole issue, a source said.
"Air India Chairman and Managing Director Arvind Jadhav has set up four review committees to look into the PLI/flying allowance issue," a source in the National Aviation Company of India Ltd told PTI here today.
The committees will be headed by functional directors and submit their reports to Jadhav by September, the source said, adding that till then the employees' PLI/flying allowance would stand reduced by half.
NACIL is the holding company formed after the merger of Air India and erstwhile Indian Airlines into a single entity.
NACIL recently had proposed a 50 per cent reduction in PLI/flying allowance which accounts for nearly 50 per cent of the carrier's annual salary bill of around Rs 3,100 crore.
