After around 91 flights were cancelled since Tuesday, as over 100 cabin crew members did not report for duty as a form of protest, Air India Express reportedly issued termination letters on Wednesday to several of the agitating employees.
The protesting cabin crew members had reported being sick, leading to the cancellation and delay of flights and leaving hundreds of passengers stranded across various airports since Tuesday night.
In the termination letter, sent to one of the employees, the airline stated that the cabin crew members reporting sick at "around the same time... clearly points to a premeditated and concerted abstention from work without any justifiable reason."
