Jet Airways says talks on with pilots to resolve salary disbursement issues

Financially troubled Jet Airways on Thursday said that it is in talks with pilots and other employees to resolve salary disbursement issues.

“Jet Airways is committed to honoring its obligations towards its employees and has already paid salaries on time to 84 percent of its employees,” a Jet Airways spokesperson said in a statement.

“In line with the mandate received from the Company’s Board of Directors, the airline management is undertaking definite steps to turn around its business and is evaluating various funding options on priority to resolve the interim challenge.”

The development comes after the airline’s pilots’ union raised the issue of delay in August salary disbursement in a letter to the company’s management.
