Mumbai: Cambata, the oldest ground handling agency in Indian aviation, has shut down, leaving more than 1,000 employees struggling for survival.
On Monday, over two weeks after the company's Chief Operating Officer A P Casserly wrote to employees to not report for work, employees protested against the non-payment of their dues at the airport.
Recently, the company lost all their airline ground handling contracts to rival Celebi and Bird Worldwide Flight Service (BWFS).
The problems started last week when Cambata workers complained against being denied entry into the air-side by the Central Industrial Security Forces (CISF) by airport authorities.
Casserly, the company's seniormost executive in the country told Mumbai Mirror that Cambata had no clients. "All we are trying now is to clear our past dues," he said.
In a letter to state government officials, the Cambata workers demanded a probe. "The situation has aggravated since we have not received a proper response from any of the airport or company officials on the issue for several months. We insist on the quick redressal of our demands," the letter read.
