May 08, 2012 20:31

Air India can be shut down very easily. However, there will be repurcurssions to the shut down, said Aviation Minister Ajit Singh in an interview to NDTV as he spoke about the ongoing pilots strike.

The pilots job depends on Air Indias performance. They must realise that it is their airline. Employees will have to decide the future of Air India, he added.

Over a 100 Air India pilots have gone on strike since Monday night, and more are likely to join in. This has led to disruptions in Air India's international operations with five flights cancelled.
