The reinstatement comes after the airline’s move to terminate around 30 employees on May 8, following a significant number of cabin crew reporting sick, which disrupted flight operations. This led to the cancellation of over 90 flights, affecting operations across the network.
The Air India Express Employees Union had previously alleged mismanagement and unequal treatment of staff within the airline. The reinstated employees had raised issues about room sharing, lack of proper support, revised salary structure, and alleged differential treatment of experienced crew members.
