Mumbai : Over 645 piolts of Jet Airways & Jet Konnect airlines went on a mass sick leave simultaneously from today to protest against the dismissal of 2 pilots by their management. This has resulted in over 115 flights of Jet Airways to be cancelled, 230 flights of Jet Airways and 135 flights of Jet Konnect to be delayed. This has led to utter chaos at all the major airports in the country with passengers having being transferred to other airlines to their destinations.

At least 115 flights of Jet Airways were cancelled today from the four major metros after a large chunk of pilots failed to report for work protesting against sacking of two of their colleagues, a step termed as "sabotage of operations" by the airlines.

Passengers in Mumbai were the worst hit with 115 flights out of the total 345 failing to take off while at least 10 flights of Jet Airways and its subsidiary JetLite were cancelled in Delhi. In Chennai, six flights were cancelled, including three international, and four in Kolkata.

Jet Airways said all affected guests can get a full refund or rebook themselves on an alternate date without any cancellation or reissue charges, but passengers were not amused.

The helpline numbers of Jet Airways office in Mumbai is 022 - 3989 3333 & in New Delhi is 011 - 3989 3333
