Sept. 29 (Bloomberg) -- India’s civil aviation ministry last night stepped in to avert a possible suspension of flights by Air India after the national carrier failed to end a strike called by its pilots, the Economic Times reported without saying where it got the information.
Air India yesterday decided not to accept fresh booking for the next 15 days, the paper quoted an official it didn’t identify as saying.
The Mumbai-based company is facing a strike over incentive- linked pay. Air India yesterday said that it planned to save as much as 13 billion rupees ($271 million) in the six months to March, including 4 billion rupees as it is “hopeful of rationalizing its manpower costs.”
