600 employees are expected to be affected
Sources close to the merger plan told PTI-Bhasha that the merger may affect about 600 employees of Air India and Vistara. These employees are engaged in work related to non-aviation activities. Sources said that efforts will be made to provide jobs to these employees affected by the merger process in Air India as well as other companies of the Tata Group. Voluntary separation scheme packages will be offered to employees who cannot be accommodated in any group.
When will the merger process begin?
According to sources, the merger process is expected to be completed by the end of September or early October.
