Engineers' strike halts Kingfisher Airlines' ATR operation

Mumbai: Kingfisher Airlines' ATR operation from Delhi was crippled following a section of its engineers going on strike since last night demanding payment of salary.
"As of now four Kingfisher flights have been cancelled due to engineers not joining duty demanding March salary, which has still not been paid to them along with a majority of airline's employees," sources said here.
This is the fourth strike by engineers since May. Kingfisher Airline operates short haul destinations such as Chandigarh, Dharamshala, Dehradun, among others with ATR.
Earlier this week, the airline's Mumbai-based pilots had also gone on strike on similar issues forcing Kingfisher to use the services of manager-cadre engineers to certify aircraft for operations.
