The Air India management today paid pending flying allowance dues to over 800 pilots. The dues which accrued following the implementation of a new pay structure have been pending since January.
The total amount was not immediately available.
Indian Commercial Pilots Association or ICPA which is the pilots' association of the airlines' narrow body (Airbus A320) fleet had said it will launch an agitation if the payments were not made.
The association had also threatened not to operate flights over the issue.
"The management today paid our flying allowance dues, which it had been defaulting since January," ICPA sources said.
In a letter to an Air India Director yesterday, the ICPA had said the airline had not paid out the dues despite promising to do so by May 5, threatening to scale back work.
