Despite rulings from the Delhi high court and chief labour commissioner, employees of the state-owned carrier Indian continued their strike, demanding promotional parity with Air India post-merger, disrupting air raffic across the country.
A number of Indian flights were cancelled, leaving many people stranded in airports across the country, even as the government declared the stir illegal and warned of a lock-out.
Flight operations of the domestic carrier were disrupted in Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Guwahati and many other towns, sources said.
The Delhi high court on Wednesday night held the strike by Indian employees as 'prime facie illegal' and asked them to resume duty at the earliest in the interest of air travellers.
D K Shetty, President of Air Corporation Employees Union, told PTI they were not aware of any high court order nor has any notice been served on them.
He said since the union has not been made a party to the case, "we are continuing with the strike".
