The Air India Express Employees Union (AIXEU) has voiced concerns to Air India Chairman Natarajan Chandrasekaran regarding rising discontent among staff post the airline's acquisition by Tata Sons. In a letter, AIXEU highlighted departures from promises on job security, salaries, and seniority respect, citing layoffs contradicting assurances by Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman of no terminations for two years after the takeover. AIXEU emphasized the dismissal of employees with outstanding records, signaling a breach of commitments. The communication underscores growing unrest within Air India Express ranks following the transition to private ownership.
