Jet staff protest outside T3 over pay delay

New Delhi: Employees of cash-strapped Jet Airways on Saturday protested outside Terminal 3 of Indira Gandhi International Airport here seeking release of pending salaries. The beleaguered airline, which flew just six-seven aircraft on Saturday, has asked its lenders to grant some "interim funding".

Its employees are expecting to be paid their pending salaries once the fresh funding comes through. Employees of Jet Airways gathered outside Terminal 3 in their uniform for a silent protest on Saturday afternoon.

They carried banners that read "Save Jet Airways, Save our future" and "Hear our cry, Let 9W fly". 9W is the code for Jet Airways flights, just like 6E is for IndiGo flights.

On Friday, Jet Airways employees took out a silent march in Mumbai. Jet Airways on Thursday grounded its services to and from the East and North-East regions.
