Jet Airways offers pilots Rs 60 cr of wage arrears in March

New Delhi: Jet Airways on Wednesday offered to pay Rs 60 crore of wage dues to its 1,000 pilots in March. The airline, in which Abu Dhabi’s Etihad has a 24 per cent stake, has a monthly wage bill of Rs 176 crore.

In return, the National Aviator’s Guild has agreed to stop go-slow protests that started a week ago after the airline halved pilots’ offs.


Jet Airways owes Rs 120 crore in wage dues to pilots over three years, sources in the company said. While the first half is likely to be cleared next month, the schedule for the rest is yet to be finalised.

An email by D Balaraman, president, Guild, to pilots on Thursday said, “We had a marathon meeting with the Jet chairman (Naresh Goyal). We have successfully completed the discussion on dues and will pass the details to you.
