62 AAI staff want to stay back, resist transfer orders

Mumbai: As many as 62 employees of the Airports Authority of India (AAI) are resisting their transfer orders issued last month. The employees have been negotiating with the management to accommodate them in the Mumbai AAI office.
The Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (CSIA) in Mumbai is being run by the Mumbai International Airport Limited (MIAL), a consortium of four companies of which AAI is a partner.
After three years of deputation at the Mumbai airport, almost all AAI employees who were earlier posted in Mumbai, were transferred to other airports across the country. In April 2009, while as many as 350 were accommodated in Mumbai, over 1,000 staff were left for new postings. At that time, around 144 employees were allowed to stay back in Mumbai for an additional year because of medical reasons or if their child was in a critical school year.
A year on, this extension has come to an end.
Last year over 250 employees have opted for Voluntary Retirement Scheme (VRS), of which 100 were posted in Mumbai.
