After defaulting on payment of salary to its senior management along with pilots and engineers, loss-making carrier Jet Airways has failed to disburse the December salary to some other categories of employees as well, a source said. The airline has not paid salaries to managerial employees and those above, for December.
The firm has not been paying salaries on time to about 15% of its over 16,000 staff since August.
A Jet spokesperson said: “Jet would like to clarify that except for informed groups, all salary payments are up to date,” without elaborating on who falls in the “informed groups”.
