Kingfisher Airlines technicians boycott work at IGI

New Delhi: A section of financially-battered Kingfisher Airlines staff on Thursday boycotted work to protest alleged non-payment of salaries since November last, but flights were not affected.
The employees, mainly technicians, began boycotting work late last night alleging they had not been paid salaries for the past four months, as the airline's Aircraft Maintenance Engineers took over the entire operations which ensured maintenance of its flight schedules, airport sources said.
Confirming that some of the technicians had boycotted work, an airline official said, "The matter has been sorted out and they have returned to work from 12 noon today and no flights have been affected due to this."
The Vijay Mallya-owned airlines has a total debt of about Rs 7,057 crore and accumulated losses of about Rs 6,000 crore.
The airline has not paid salary to its employees since November and company CEO had promised to the Director General of Civil Aviation that the due salaries of November and December would be paid by February end and all dues would be cleared by March end.
