Air India on Monday suspended 10 cabin crew members for allegedly instigating other members to protest against the airline's revised policy that also requires a section of them to share rooms during layovers, a source said on Monday.
Ahead of Vistara's merger with itself next month, Air India has introduced the revised policy for cabin crew members that will be effective from December 1.
The All India Cabin Crew Association has opposed the room-sharing requirement, terming it as "illegal, bad in law, and Void ab initio on multiple fronts." It has also sought the intervention of the labour ministry to resolve the issues.
