According to its website, Alliance Air connects 48 locations inside India with 100 departures every day. The airline was serving 62 sites before COVID.

One of the requests is the restoration of pilots' wages to the pre-COVID level.

According to one of the sources, salaries were reduced by 60% in the wake of the pandemic, and they have still not fully recovered.

According to the sources, the management will shortly examine matters pertaining to pilot compensation.

A spokeswoman with Alliance Air advised that a comment will be released shortly when contacted.
