New Delhi: Seven unions of Air India employees have warned the government of large-scale protests if a proposal from NITI Aayog to privatise the national carrier is approved. The letter has been written collectively by AI Air Corporate Employees Union, AI Employees Union, AI Aircraft Engineers’ Association, United Air India Officers’ Association, AI Engineer’s Association, AI Cabin Crew Association and AI Service Engineers’ Association. No autonomy was granted to the management of Air India to determine to which sectors the Air India should operate its flight,” the letter adds. The Cabinet is expected to take a call on privatising Air India soon. The CBI has also registered three FIRs and a preliminary enquiry (PE)on several decisions made by the erstwhile UPA government with regard to Air India.
