Air India Express cabin crew end strike after mediation; airline agrees to reinstate 25 dismissed staff

Around 300 Air India Express cabin crew reportedly called in sick on 8–9 May, causing severe disruption to flights and stranding passengers across the country. The action ended on Thursday, 9 May, after a mediation meeting with the Chief Labour Commissioner in New Delhi, at which the airline agreed to withdraw termination letters and reinstate 25 cabin crew who had been dismissed for reporting sick since 6 May. Cabin crew, as reported by British Safety Council India, alleged a lack of proper support for staff, unequal treatment of experienced crew members, and proposed salary cuts linked to the airline's planned merger with AIX Connect.
