Mumbai/New Delhi: Kingfisher Airlines cancelled at least five flights out of Mumbai and Delhi on Monday, as a section of staff did not report for because they had not been paid their salary for four monthes despite promises. A meeting between the protestors and the airline's top management was convened at a hotel in suburban Mumbai to resolve the situation.
While flight information display boards in Delhi showed that Kingfisher's services to Dehradun, Shimla and Chandigarh were cancelled, services from Mumbai to Bhuj and Jamnagar were also cancelled, airport sources said.
In a letter to the employees dated April 1, Mallya had said, “I am pleased to advise you that formalities of un-freezing our bank accounts was completed yesterday (March 31) following our payment of Rs 44 crore to the Income Tax and Rs 20 crore to the Service Tax authorities. My only focus now is to start paying your seriously overdue salaries. All junior staff will be paid before the Easter that is on April 4th. All pilots and engineers will be paid on April 9th and April 10th,” Mallya told the employees who have not been paid since last December.
