Strike likely to hit Air India flights to Dubai

A section of Air India pilots numbering about 800 went on strike on Tuesday night demanding pay parity and better working conditions.
The immediate impact of the strike will be on domestic flights since the striking pilots belong to the erstwhile Indian Airlines. HOwever international flights to South East Asia and Dubai are also likely to be affected.
Air India management though unperturbed by the strike maintained that the passengers won't be affected and said that the strike is illegal. It has warned that strict action will be taken against those who refuse to report for work, and some pilots may even be terminated.
