New Delhi: Ending 26 days of deadlock, Kingfisher Airlines employees on Thursday ended their strike after the management accepted their demand of paying salary of four months before the year-end. The management also said that the airline will be fully operational within a month and they would soon present their turn-around plan to the director general of civil aviation (DGCA) for revoking of suspension of their license.
The breakthrough was achieved during a crucial meeting between the airlines’ chief executive officer (CEO) Sanjay Aggarwal and the striking employees in Delhi. “We have reached an agreement with the management on the salary issue. We will join back work immediately,” Satish Chandra Mishra, an aircraft service engineer who has been leading the agitation said.
“We will receive our first pay for the month of March today (Thursday), followed by April's salary on October 31 and then May's pay by Diwali. Our fourth month's pay (June) will be given by year end sometime in December,” Mishra said.
The salary dues from July to September would be paid by March next year after recapitalisation of the airline, the agitating staff said.
