Jet Airways delays salary payment again

Jet Airways delayed the payment of salaries due Thursday to its senior employees, a problem that has been recurring for the last 2 months. In September, Jet announced that the airline will pay its employees salary in 2 equal instalments — 50% the 11th and the remainder the 27th of every month till November. The carrier said it is committed to overcome the exogenous circumstances plaguing the aviation sector due to the continuing rise of Brent fuel prices as well as the depreciating rupee. “While the company has been diligent in running its payroll as per schedule for all employees, it is only in the last couple of months that the schedule has been impacted due to unavoidable reasons. Despite these challenges, the company has ensured that 85% of its employees are paid salaries," said the airline. <br/>
