Further cancelations for Kingfisher
Seven Kingfisher flights from Mumbai were cancelled on Saturday due to a pilots strike over unpaid salaries.
“A section of Mumbai-based pilots have gone on strike due to repeated failure to keep up with the promises (made by the airline management),” airline sources told PTI, before warning passengers that more cancellations would follow.
A group of 15 pilots met with management last week, but rejected promises that dues would be settled by tomorrow, citing repeated failure to meet deadlines. Kingfisher Airlines, whose accounts are under Corporate Affairs Ministry’s scanner, has not made payments to majority of its employees since March.
