New Delhi: The four-member committee constituted to look into the salary disparity between employees from the erstwhile Air India and India Airlines will give its report by September.
The civil aviation ministry had formed the panel of independent experts to look into the matter, as it continued to be a thorny issue three years after the airlines were merged. The committee is headed by retired judge D N Dharmadhikari, R Dholakia, professor at IIM Ahmedabad and Rajeshwar Dayal, a retired Department of Public Enterprises official, as members along with member secretary Syed Nasir Ali, a director in the ministry.
“The committee has started work and will give its recommendations in five months,” said a senior ministry official. He said it would meet all staff in the airline, even the two that were de-registered after they went on a flash strike.
Air India had 14 unions. Two of them — Air Corporation Employees Union and Air India Aircraft Engineers’ Association — were de-registered after they went on a flash strike after an Air India Express flight crashed in Mangalore last year.
Air India, which recently lost to IndiGo to become the fourth largest carrier in the country, has launched competitive fares for the peak summer season to regain its third position.
