Nearly 56 staffers of IndiGo's ground handling agency this morning went on a strike over issues related to payments and salaries, causing "minor" difficulties for airport authorities here.
The airline in a statement said that they were looking into "a solution for the concerns raised by the staff of their ground handling agency".
Though there were "minor difficulties in dealing with IndiGo passengers due to the striking staff", services at the airport were not disrupted, Director, Lal Bahadur Shastri International Airport, Varanasi, Anil Kumar Rai said.
Fifty-six support personnel of the airline went on a strike around 6:30 am over some issue, without giving airport officials the seven days mandatory prior notice. This could prompt legal action, he said.
Rai also warned that legal action would also be taken if they do not resume work at the earliest.
He said that a clarification will be also sought from them on why they went on a strike without giving the mandatory notice.
IndiGo said, "We are actively looking into a solution for the concerns raised by the staff of our ground handling agency, GV India Services at Varanasi Airport."
The airport director said, "The services at the airport were not disrupted and all the operations continued here."
