Several flights of Air India and Air India Express were delayed on Monday as employees of government-owned ground handling agency AIASL carried out a protest at the Mumbai airport for a wage hike and other demands.
AIASL provides ground handling services to Air India Group —Air India and Air India Express — as well as international airlines at the Mumbai International Airport, along with other airports in the country. Air India, in a statement, said that an industrial action by employees of a third-party ground-handling agency at the Mumbai airport is impacting operations.
“Our airport teams are working closely with all stakeholders to minimise inconvenience to guests and normal operations at the earliest,” the airline said.
Air India, however, did not reveal how many flights were impacted.
AIASL said its employees resumed work after getting an assurance from the management that their demands would be looked into. "There was a silent Morcha by a certain section of employees, and we requested them to give us in writing (their demands) for discussion. They have been kind enough to go back and join back the work,” said Rambabu, CEO at AIASL.
He said the company will go through all requests (of the agitating employees).
