The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has stated that it cannot intervene in the ongoing dispute between Akasa Air and its pilots. The airline has faced issues with pilot resignations and alleged salary delays. DGCA clarified that it does not have the authority to get involved in matters related to salary disputes and contract terminations, as these fall under the jurisdiction of labor laws. The statement comes as Akasa Air, a new Indian airline, faces challenges in launching its operations amidst the aviation industry’s recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. The airline is advised to resolve the issues through negotiations with its pilots and adhere to labor laws.
