Kingfisher Airlines promoter Vijay Mallya has assured his employees that they would be paid their salary dues of eight months soon but did not give a time-line, airline staffers said today.
The assurance came a day after a section of employees threatened to disrupt the matches of Royal Challenger Bangalore (RCB), owned by Mallya, in the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL).
Mallya met four representatives of airline pilots and engineers here late last night and told them that their wage dues from June last year till this January, would be paid as soon as the company gets money from the Rs11,000 crore Diageo deal, the employees said.
However, he did not give a time-line by when these dues would be cleared, they said.
