A-I says week needed to restore normalcy

May 02, 2003 08:43 IST

Air-India on Friday said it will take at least a week to restore its original flight schedule despite the pilots' strike being called off  late on Thursday night.

"We have put the contingency flight schedule in place and it will take at least a week before we can come back with the original schedule," an A-I official said.

"The tough stance of the Civil Aviation Ministry and A-I management has led to the withdrawal of Indian Pilots Guild's directives on the SARS issue," Air-India's Director Public Relations, Jitender Bhargava, said.
 
"With the derecognition of IPG, the pilots now have to give an individual undertaking before they report for work," A-I sources said adding, "it cannot be business as usual after causing such a financial loss to the airline."
