Air India says operations unaffected despite pilots' agitation

National air-carrier Air India today said that its operations were unaffected despite a section of its executive pilots launching an agitation since last night.

"Our operations have not been affected," Air India's executive director Jitendra Bhargava told reporters here.

International operations were unaffected while only 11 domestic flights were cancelled, he said.
    
Among the 11 domestic flights that were affected included three flights from Delhi to Lucknow, Srinagar and Kabul.
   
"All the 58 international flights operated normally while only 11 domestic flights were cancelled. 20 pilots went on sick leave," he said.

Air India will hold talks with agitating pilots tomorrow in the city to end the strike, he said.
    
A section of Air India's executive pilots have been on an agitation since last night protesting against the reduction in their productivity-linked incentives which the air-carrier's management has implemented as a part of its turnaround plan.
