In the last two days, Air India's domestic flight services were partially affected after a section of ICPA members decided not to report for duty in protest against pending issues related to salary and allowances. National carrier Air India's flight operations was back to normal on Tuesday after the airline's chief Ashwani Lohani "assured" the narrow-body pilots of addressing all their pending issues, including pay parity, by next month during a meeting with them here this evening. "The CMD during the meeting assured us of addressing all our pending issues including removing anomalies in the pay structure by next month and duly providing mandatory weekly offs in printed schedules. ICPA represents around 750 pilots of the narrow-body planes fleet in Air India, most of whom are from the erstwhile Indian Airlines. In a stern message to employees, Lohani had said such acts (of disrupting flight services) were "just not acceptable" and shall not be tolerated under any circumstances.
