New Delhi, May 12: Taking a tough stand, Civil Aviation Minister Ajit Singh on Saturday asked the striking Air India pilots to apologise to passengers, start the flights and then come to the government for talks.



"The first priority must be to make sure that the passengers feel they are being listened to. So let the pilots decide that. Ask for forgiveness from passengers. Start the flights ... we can talk on anything after that," Singh said.

He reminded the pilots that Air India was almost bankrupt and public money was being pumped to revive the national carrier.
