SpiceJet has sent 80 pilots on leave?...
The danger of closure of another airline in the country is increasing. SpiceJet airlines, stuck in a financial crisis, has sent 80 of its pilots on leave on Tuesday. The airlines said in an official statement that these pilots have been sent on unpaid leave for 3 months. However, the Gurgaon-based headquarters of the airline has ruled out the possibility of layoffs.
Temporary steps are taken to reduce costs
According to the PTI report, the airlines have said that this is a temporary decision, which has been taken to reduce the expenses of the airlines.
The airline says that this move will help the airline strike a fair balance between the number of pilots compared to the aircraft fleet. The pilots who have been sent on unpaid leave are pilots in the fleet of Boeing and Bombardier aircraft of all airlines.
Pilots are furious with this move
This decision of the airline, which is in financial trouble, has caused anger among a group of pilots. Even before the airline's statement came, pilots started criticizing the decision on social media platforms. A pilot told PTI, "We are aware of the airline's financial crisis, but taking such a sudden decision has left many of us pilots in shock. After three months, there is also an atmosphere of uncertainty regarding the financial position of the company. There is no guarantee that those sent on forced leave will be called back.
Frequent accidents have also given a blow to the company
During the Corona epidemic, the budget carrier stuck in the financial crisis has also been shocked by the constant flaws in the planes. During the last few months, SpiceJet aircraft has been the most frequent victim of emergency landings in the indian domestic aviation industry. Due to this, the company was also warned by DGCA and some aircraft were also parked for a week. Due to these incidents, the financial crisis of the company has increased further.
