“A section of employees working at the Delhi airport and having some issues have met senior officials and the matter is being resolved,” the spokesperson added.

Sources said the employees who went on strike discussed issues such as reduced salary and its disbursement with the management.

SpiceJet has been paying reduced salaries to a significant number of its employees since 2020 as its finances have been hit due to Covid-19 pandemic-related travel restrictions. Other airlines in India have cut salaries too for the same reason.
