Extend special loans to pay Jet staff: AIBEA to banks

National Aviators Guild (NAG), which is the pilots' union of Jet Airways, has said that a sum of Rs 175 crore is needed to pay employee salaries.

The decision was taken at a meeting of NAG members that took place both in Mumbai and Delhi on Sunday afternoon, a guild source said.

National Aviators Guild has asked that the airline immediately pay their outstanding salaries and allowances till date with interest.

Jet Airways is facing acute cash crunch after posting two back-to back quarterly losses this year.

The development comes at a time when many of its junior pilots have been asked to take 10 days off every month.

The pilot, an American national, was a commander on Jet Airways wide-body Boeing 777 aircraft.

The NAG’s statement comes after its direction on April 15 asking its members not to fly with the expats in the cockpit.
