Airline staffers fear being 'grounded' over cost cuts

Ahmedabad: More than 200 ground staff members of different airlines at the Ahmedabad airport are having sleepless nights over flights being delayed, contracts being cancelled and liquidity crunch.
Air India (AI) has already delayed its May salary by 15 days because of a cash crunch. The 100-odd Air India employees at the city airport and its booking office at Khanpur have not got their salaries, meant to be released on June 7.
AI chairman and managing director Arvind Jadhav wrote to employees across the country last week assuring them that salaries would be made soon. He, however, did not specify a date. "The email said he was sorry about the delay and assured us that the government would help in making the payments," an AI official said. A senior official in Delhi said salaries would be paid by the end of June.
