Mumbai: Kingfisher Airlines tonight declared a partial lockout with immediate effect and suspended till Thursday flight operations which came to a grinding halt following a strike by a section of its employees.
In a statement, the Vijay Mallya-owned private carrier said it has been forced to declare a "partial lockout" following a series of "protracted and unabated incidents of violence, criminal intimidation, assault, wrongful restraint and other illegal acts" including refraining from attending work, by a small section of "recalcitrant" employees.
The airline said the action by the recalcitrant employees who have regrettably chosen to take law into their own hands forcing a complete paralysis of operations were all "unnecessary and unprovoked."
