NEW DELHI: Air India on Friday ordered four senior employees of its gateway services provider, AISATS, to resign after they were found partying at their workplace in Gurugram, just days after the Dreamliner crash on June 12. The tragic accident had claimed the lives of 275 people, including all but one of the 242 on board. The terminated employees include two senior vice presidents, the chief operating officer and the training head of AISATS. A video of the employees partying on June 20 at a DJ event recently went viral on social media. In several clips shared online, at least 30 people can be seen dancing energetically to loud music, with whistling and all-round revelry inside the office. “At AISATS, we stand in solidarity with the families affected by the tragic loss of AI 171 and deeply regret the lapse in judgment reflected in a recent internal video. The behaviour does not align with our values, and firm disciplinary action has been taken against those responsible as we reaffirm our commitment to empathy, professionalism, and accountability,” a spokesperson for the AISATS said. AISATS (Air India SATS Airport Services Private Limited) is a joint venture between the Tata Group and Singapore’s SATS Ltd.
