Malindo Airways said today there was no disruption of any its flights from 9am yesterday.
There was also no flight cancellation today, and “everything is back to normal as of 9am yesterday,” a Malindo Airways spokesperson said in an email response to Malaysiakini.
The response follows a query from Malaysiakiniabout some flight cancellations by the year-old airline yesterday, following allegations of a strike by its ground crew.
There were some pictures of the so-called strike posted in the social media.
There have been various postings saying the workers were on strike to raise attention to discriminatory practices of the senior management staff.
These grouses of the staff have also been brought to the attention of the government, including to Acting Transport Minister Hishammuddin Hussein.
The online version of New Straits Times today quotes Malindo chief executive officer Chandran Rama Murthy as denying there was a strike, but he admitted that some disgruntled employees wanted higher pay.
“Malindo has only been operating in Malaysia for a year. We are in no position to grant salary hikes, compared with established players such as AirAsia, which has been in business for 11 years.
“There were no cancellations or flight turn-backs. There were delays in the morning (yesterday) but those were caused by technical issues,” Chandran is quoted as saying.
He also denied issuing an offensive statement to the staff.
