SpiceJet sent about 80 pilots on unpaid leave for three months on Tuesday to streamline costs, according to the report. Although the airline has not confirmed the exact number, it has issued a statement announcing the development.
“In a temporary measure to rationalise costs, SpiceJet has decided to place certain pilots on leave without pay for a period of three months. This measure, which is in line with SpiceJet’s policy of not retrenching any employee which the airline steadfastly followed even during the peak of the Covid pandemic, will help rationalise the pilot strength vis-a-vis the aircraft fleet,” the airline said.
As per sources, pilots of the Boeing and Q400 fleet have been asked to go on unpaid leave in order to cut costs.
