Normalcy likely to be restored by tonight: AI

Mumbai: Air India on Wednesday said normalcy in its operations was likely to be restored by tonight.

"We hope to restore normalcy by tonight," Air India's Executive Director, Jitendra Bhargava, told reporters here.

Air India's operations were hampered over the last five days as a section of its executive pilots were protesting against the cut in their Productivity-Linked Incentives (PLIs) implemented by the air-carrier's management as a part of its turnaround plan.

Several international and domestic flights had to be cancelled as a result of the pilots' agitation causing inconvenience to passengers.

"The order to cut PLI will not be implemented," Bhargava said.

Air India also extended its apologies to all inconvenienced during the last few days following disruption of its services due to the pilots strike, he said.

The agitating pilots have called off their protest following assurances that there would be no immediate cut in their incentives and allowances.
