In fact, the people of the industry were very worried about the return of labourers on a large scale in the lockdown. How many workers were upset due to not getting salary or losing their jobs so that they had to leave their house for five hundred thousand kilometres on foot? That is why, especially manufacturing companies, fear that they may have to go through a severe shortage of skilled and unskilled labourers.

What does the airline's company say?

A SpiceJet official told the newspaper: 'We have operated many chartered flights on behalf of companies from which their employees have been taken to different workplaces within the country and also outside the country. A big company is constantly booking our aircraft and delivering it to its employees.
