Mumbai - After Air India promised to clear their salaries, many of its contractual ground staff who bunked duty Thursday morning returned to work, official sources said.
Earlier, around a hundred workers remained away from work protesting non-payment of two months salaries.
AI officials said it had made arrangements to clear the salaries by Saturday.
The officials said two international flights from Mumbai to Cairo and Shanghai were delayed by around an hour each.
Thursday’s protest included around a hundred of crucial ground staff and personnel manning the airline’s counters at the airport during the morning shift who do not belong to any union.
The agitation came as a consortium of 19 banks approved a Rs.18,000-crore financial restructuring plan for cash-strapped airline, lifting the spectre of a strike threat by Air India pilots.
