The days of aviation industry are not going well. Now a big news is coming from Akasa Air. It is being told that this airline is in danger of closure. The surprising thing is that this airline was launched with much fanfare only 13 months ago. This company, invested by the late Rakesh Jhunjhunwala, known as the Big Bull of the market, has deteriorated in just 13 months.
43 pilots of the company have suddenly resigned together. Due to simultaneous resignation of 43 pilots, the company has to cancel 24 flights every day. The company itself has admitted that it is in danger of closure. The company said in Delhi High Court that due to such sudden resignations the company is on the verge of closure.
600 flights had to be canceled
According to media reports, pilots from Akasa are resigning from here and joining Air India. According to reports, these pilots did not serve the notice period. Akasa Air operates 120 flights every day. But due to such a large number of resignations suddenly, the company had to cancel about 600 flights in the month of August. Now the company has no option but to cancel the flights this month also. The company is facing shortage of pilots to fly Vibhaan.
The company appealed in the court
Seeing the matter not improving, Akasa approached the court. The company has appealed to the court to ask aviation regulator DGCA to follow the rules of serving mandatory notices. Actually, under the rules, it is necessary to serve 6 months' notice for officer grade. Whereas for the Captain, the notice period is one year. Therefore, the company has demanded from the court that the pilot serve the notice period. However, DCGA has tightened its hands on the matter and made it clear that it cannot do this because the company has appealed in the court for this.
