Air India Express has terminated at least 25 cabin crew members, a day after hundreds of employees went on sick leave, causing disruptions to flight operations. According to sources, the management made the decision to terminate cabin crew members who took sick leave between Tuesday and Wednesday due to their unprofessional behaviour, which inconvenienced thousands of passengers.
The mass sick leave was viewed as a pre-meditated and coordinated abstention from work without any justifiable reason, violating Air India Express Limited employee service rules.
