Greater Noida: Kingfisher Airlines chairman Vijay Mallya on Saturday said he was never out of reach of his striking employees during the 26-day impasse over non-payment of salaries since March this year and had played an active part in the wage settlement.
"We are here to enjoy Formula One, so let's enjoy it. But I have always been available and whatever settlement has been reached (between the airline management and the employees) it's because of my participation," Mallya told reporters at the Buddh International Circuit (BIC) here on the sidelines of tomorrow's Indian Grand Prix.
Later in a tweet, he said, "At the BIC FI circuit. Sahara Force India qualifying prospects are secondary. Even sports journos focus only on Kingfisher".
The employees of the airline, who were on strike since September 29, agreed to resume work on the management's promise to clear three months dues before Diwali.
