Cash-strapped Jet Airways has told some of its employees it will be able to pay the balance salary for August only in October. It had earlier said it would pay the salaries in two parts in September.

However, the company has now told its staff in an email that they will receive the second tranche only next month. “Jet Airways today remitted half of the second instalment of pending emoluments of its pilots, AMEs and senior management for August 2018. The airline has also communicated a revised date of payment to the concerned employees and stands committed to honour its obligations,” said a company spokesperson.

“While the management regrets the attendant inconvenience , it also appreciates the continued support and understanding of its employees,” the company added.
