According to accounts, the workers have been demonstrating against the new terms of employment. According to the sources, the crew has complained about unequal treatment of the workforce. They have stated that some employees have been given lesser work duties even if they have passed interviews for more senior roles. The team has also brought attention to a few changes in their benefits package. These changes are occurring along with the airline’s merger with AIX Connect, formerly known as AirAsia India.
