A strike notice is in place for December 8, with cabin crew demanding greater salaries and allowances.
The airline's assessing the effect on operations, with up to 15-thousand passengers potentially impacted.
CEO Nikhil Ravishankar says it's discussing with the unions what potential increases need to look like over a period of time.
He says ensuring the airline can be helped through a tough economic time is high on the agenda - but looking after cabin crew is equally high.
