Alliance Air has released a statement stating that its flights experienced major disruptions due to a large number of pilots reporting sick over the last two days. The statement has confirmed that operations have now returned to normal, and flights are operating as per schedule.

The airline has reportedly issued notices to the striking pilots, asking them to resume their duties. According to sources, Alliance Air has approximately 200 pilots and operates 130 flights daily. The striking pilots caused at least 70 flights affect on Tuesday.

Alliance Air, which was previously a part of the now-privatized Air India, is a state-owned airline.

The airline has also announced that it will be waiving cancellation charges and offering full refunds to passengers who had their flights canceled during the strike.

Alliance Air, a subsidiary of Air India, operates flights to over 50 destinations in India and is a popular choice for passengers traveling to remote and inaccessible regions of the country.

The end of the strike will come as a relief to many passengers who were stranded due to canceled flights. Moreover, it is hoped that the airline will take steps to address the concerns raised by the pilots and that such strikes will not be repeated in the future.
