The Labour Tribunal last week ruled that seaplane operator Air Taxi has to provide accommodation to local pilots as well as foreigners.
The company was taken to the tribunal by 29 Maldivian pilots, who claimed discrimination and unfair practices.
The tribunal ruled that offering accommodation exclusively to foreign pilots was in violation to employment laws and amounted to discrimination.
The tribunal also ordered Air Taxi to include a provision in their employment contracts to provide a 30-day paid leave for employees.
