Naresh Goyal-promoted Jet Airways, which is facing a severe cash crunch, has failed to give any firm date for payment of September salary to its senior management, pilots and engineers, a source said.
On September 6, after it defaulted on payment of August salary, the airline had informed that the salary of these three categories of staffers would be paid in two tranches - on 11th and 26th of the month - till November.
Therefore, the August salary was to be paid on September 11 and September 26 while September salary on October 11 and October 26, and so on.
Though it paid the first tranche of 50 per cent of August salary on September 11, it paid the remaining 50 per cent in two instalments - on September 26 and October 9.
Now, the airline is yet to pay the first instalment of the September salary three days after the designated date, the source said.
In a communication to these categories of staffers Sunday evening, the airline said it was “working” towards a solution (for payment) but did not not give any specific date.
“First of all, we would like to apologise for the delayed payment of your salaries and appreciate your patience in this matter. We remain committed towards your dues and profusely thank you for doing what you do for Jet Airways every day,” Jet Airways chief people officer Rahul Taneja said in the communication.
The spokesperson of Jet Airways could not be contacted for comments.
