Press Release

Kuwait: Indo-Kuwait Friendship Society (www.indo-kuwaitfrienddshipsociety.com) has requested Air India Management to show “good will gesture” towards the Indian Pilots Guild (IPG) who have called off their two month long strike. The strike has hit Air India's operations on international routes. The Civil Aviation Minister H.E. Ajit Singh had recently said that Air India, which was losing an average of Rs. 10-15 Crores daily due to the strike.

It is very unfortunate to note that Air India Management still have a stubborn policy and their "inability" to make any commitment on reinstating pilots or addressing issues raised by the pilots. The Pilots already called off their agitation, hence AIM should honor to reinstate the sacked pilots in duty. Even though AI Pilots already  called off their  strikes  that the impasse not withstanding, the pilots have not threatened to restart their agitation, and the case is with Delhi High Court.  DHC  should consider "sympathetically"  the grievances of the 300 striking pilots. We, NRIs has lost enough money by cancelling AI tickets. H.E. Ajit Singh has failed to stop the strike. If he would have intervened strongly,  the nation could have saved the loss of huge foreign income. Dr. Ghalib Al-Mashoor, President of IKFS said in the press release.
