Mumbai/New Delhi, Sep 9 - For the second consecutive day Jet Airways flights were disrupted following an ongoing agitation by pilots, leading to cancellation of 160 flights across the country Wednesday, an airline official said.
Many pilots continued to report sick Wednesday despite a Bombay High Court order last evening restraining them from resorting to any form of strike in the country's largest private airline.
Many passengers, however, had already cancelled their flights with Jet Airways. So there was relatively less chaos at Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji Airport Wednesday morning.
Meanwhile the striking pilots got support from the National Union of Seafarers of India. General Secretary Abdul G. Sarang said early Wednesday that until the issue was resolved, the NUSI would not utilise the services of Jet Airways to transfer their members all over the country and to other parts of the world.
