HTML clipboard Jet Airways on Wednesday said its doors were open for talks with the agitating pilots who continued to stay away from duty crippling the airline's services for the second day.
"Doors are open... we will be sitting together," Jet Airways Chief Commercial Officer Sudheer Raghavan told reporters here.
Asked if it was true that the two pilots sacked last month were not given any valid reason for the management's action, he said Jet had "not gone out of the legal framework."
The sacking of the two pilots for allegedly trying to form an union sparked off an agitation that paralysed the airline's domestic and international flights since Tuesday.
About 400 domestic and international flights of Jet Airways have been cancelled in the last two days resulting in over 14,000 passengers being stranded at various airports.
Raghavan said the airline's domestic bookings had plummeted to 14,000 per day from 23,000 on normal days, in the wake of its pilots going on a mass sick leave.
However, the impact on the international bookings was less as the company retained 9,500 bookings against 10,500 it has on normal days.
"We are able to carry 50 per cent of our passengers on Jet Airways and JetLite flights, while the remaining are being transferred to other airlines," Raghavan said.
