Five Kingfisher flights cancelled

April 02, 2012 14:38

Even as Kingfisher Airlines staff told the management to pay their salaries by tomorrow, at least five Kingfisher flights out of Mumbai and Delhi were cancelled today as a section of staff did not report for duty to demand
immediate payment of salary and allowance backlog.

As some pilots and other staff did not report for work to press for their demands, a meeting between the protestors and the airline's top management was urgently convened at a hotel in suburban Mumbai to resolve the situation.

While flight information display boards in Delhi showed that Kingfisher's services to Dehradun, Shimla and Chandigarh were cancelled, services from Mumbai to Bhuj and Jamnagar were also cancelled, airport sources said.
