However, a section of pilots remained unsatisfied and decided to organise a strike, sources said.
Therefore, a few of them were suspended by the airline, they added.
In a statement, the airline said, 'We confirm that a handful of IndiGo pilots have been suspended from duty for indulging in activities that are in contravention to the terms of their employment and in violation of the code of conduct of the company.”
