Jet Airways boss Goyal discusses lay-off issue with Raj Thackeray

MUMBAI: Jet Airways Chairman Naresh Goyal on Thursday discussed the issue of staff lay-off with MNS chief Raj Thackeray and assured him that he will look into their demands.

"In a telephonic conversation with Thackeray, Goyal assured him of looking into our demands," an MNS leader told reporters.

Goyal will also be meeting the MNS chief shortly, he said.

Earlier, an MNS delegation met Jet airway officials this morning at the airline headquarters in Andheri and demanded reinstatement of all the retrenched employees.

The private airline had yesterday axed more than 1900 employees, mostly cabin crew - which it expected to result in savings of USD one million a month.
