New Delhi: Trouble is brewing again in private carrier Jet Airways as some of its subsidiary airline JetLite’s pilots have quit, serving notice to the management alleging change in service conditions. JetLite was originally Air Sahara before being acquired by Jet Airways promoter Naresh Goyal in 2007 and operated as budget arm till November last year.
But in December, the two carriers were integrated into one to operate under one single full-service brand. “Some JetLite pilots have recently quit the airline and have sent a notice to the management after their service conditions were arbitrarily changed in the wake of the merger,” Jet Airways sources said on Sunday.
These pilots have demanded that they should be relieved from job immediately as the six-month mandatory notice period was no longer applicable on them, sources said.
