Over 36 Kingfisher flights grounded as workers go on strike

New Delhi: : India's struggling Kingfisher Airlines cancelled more than three dozen flights on Saturday when frustrated pilots and other workers walked off the job to protest about long-overdue pay.
"Kingfisher Airlines regrets to announce certain flights across its network are cancelled" after employees went on strike, said the firm, which is under pressure from lenders to come up with a turnaround plan to avert bankruptcy.
The airline -- controlled by flamboyant liquor baron Vijay Mallya -- said the workers stayed home "due to salary payments not being credited to the bank accounts of all employees".
"We're doing everything we can to get the situation back to normal," a spokesman for the airline told AFP.
