Air India strike illegal, storms aviation minister

May 08, 2012 10:45

Civil Aviation Minister Ajit Singh today called the strike by Air India pilots as illegal, and said the management of the national carrier would take appropriate action against those involved in the stir.

Singh said the pilots went on sick leave in the midst of their talks with the management of Air India which has led to cancellation of flights. Four Air India international flights from New Delhi and Mumbai were cancelled this morning after about 100 pilots refused to join work. "They are reporting sick. They have not given any notice for any strike. So whatever the Air India management rules and regulations, action will be taken accordingly," Singh said.
