A section of pilots of near-bankrupt Kingfisher Airlines on Saturday went on strike, second time in the month, demanding immediate payment of March salaries, leading to cancellation of seven flights from Mumbai.

"A section of Mumbai-based pilots have gone on strike due to repeated failure to keep up with the promises (made by the airline management)," airline sources told PTI in Mumbai.

Some flights from Mumbai have already been cancelled due to the pilots strike and many more cancellations are to follow, they said.

Seven Kingfisher Airlines flights from Mumbai have been cancelled, a Mumbai International Airport Limited spokesperson said.

The strike comes after a meeting between a group of pilots and airline Chief Executive Sanjay Aggarwal in the city to enquire about the March salaries, ended without yielding any results, sources said.
