Air-India on Tuesday derecognised the Indian Pilots Guild with immediate effect.

Air-India public relations director Jitender Bhargava confirmed the development, and said: "A letter has been sent derecognising the Guild for its anti-organisation activities and working against the airline."

Following the derecognition, there "will be no more collective bargaining," A-I sources added.
