The employee union at AI Engineering Services Limited (AIESL), India’s largest aircraft Maintenance, Repair, and Operations (MRO) company, has announced a strike threat scheduled for April 23. The union’s primary concerns include issues related to promotions, low wages, and stringent conditions outlined in the new service agreement. This announcement echoes previous instances of discontent among AIESL employees, such as the strike that occurred in March 2022, during which nearly 1,700 staff members participated, leading to disruptions in Air India’s flight operations that rely on AIESL’s services.
