National carrier Air India has terminated the services of three co-pilots for breach of contract in a move to deter pilots from quitting the airline after receiving high-cost type rating training and joining other airlines at higher salary packages.
Air India sources today said that the airline has given these first officers, who fly narrow body Airbus A320, a one month notice while terminating their services.
"These pilots had quit the airline without completing their five-year contract terms. We have spent a huge cost on training of these pilots...The contract terms and conditions have to be followed," the sources said.
Air India has also requested the aviation regulator Directorate General of Civil Aviation to cancel their licences, they said.
