Jet Airways employee arrested in UK

Jet Airways India Ltd has announced that Asmin Tariq, holder of a British passport transferred to the Company in March 2006, from G4S (earlier called Securicor) after the airline ended its contract with this agency for passenger service representatives.

Under UK employment legislation, TUPEE (Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations) was applicable which meant that the Company had to take on those employees who had been employed by G4S prior to the airline bringing the contract in-house in respect of passenger service representatives. G4S is a reputable Agency who provides services to British Airways, Singapore Airlines, Thai Airways, SAS etc.

All G4S employees, including those who transferred to the Company, had been cleared by the UK Government Security Agency, named Disclosures Scotland to work at the airport. Typically it can take up to 12 weeks for an individual to obtain security clearance to work in Heathrow following references and referees from five different sources.

Tariq is being suspended pending a full investigation, having not reported for duty for the past couple of days.
