Both the government and the pilots are hopeful of an early end to the Air India strike. AIR correspondent quoting government and Indian Commercial Pilots Association spokesperson reports that the two sides will hold another round of talks later in the day to address some ticklish issues. The striking pilots and the government yesterday held detailed discussions on the issues raised by the pilots and the Air India management. But the talks remained inconclusive. An Air India spokesman told our correspondent this morning that more flights have started operating for Metro and the routes covered by its subsidiary Alliance Air. He said today 20 percent domestic flights will operate from Delhi. Yesterday only ten percent flights operated from the Indira Gandhi International Airport in Delhi. The strike entered the tenth day today. The services of the national airline were crippled yesterday with only 32 domestic flights operating. AIR correspondent adds that the passengers continue to be affected by the strike with the cash strapped airline suffering huge losses.
