Mumbai, May 5 (PTI) Air India services remained crippled for the ninth day today even as the striking pilots and Civil Aviation Ministry were set to resume talks to end the deadlock.
An Air India spokesperson said the airline managed to operate only 10 per cent of its services.
The civil aviation ministry yesterday held talks with the agitating pilots to find a way to break the ice following the strike. The talks, however, were inconclusive.
The AI will, meanwhile, continue to operate chartered flights with help of private airlines. The national carrier yesterday operated 18 chartered flights, 16 domestic and two international, using aircraft borrowed from Kingfisher and Air Arabia.
