Marathon talks to end the impasse between the management of Jet Airways and its pilots before the Chief Labour Commissioner remained inconclusive on Friday.
The talks will continue in Mumbai on Saturday.
The deadlock has caused large-scale disruption of flights, affecting nearly 14,000 passengers daily for the past four days. On average 200 Jet flights, including those on international routes, have been cancelled as hundreds of pilots reported sick.
