Beleaguered Kingfisher Airlines today faced fresh trouble with its employees deciding to move court seeking a formal closure of the company if it did not spell out future plans giving a time-line for clearing their salary dues of eight months.

The employees are also learnt to have moved the DGCA, informing the aviation regulator of their plans which also include seeking the intervention of the President and the Prime Minister, airline sources said.

"We demand that the management should share the revival plan with us. We also want it to spell out a payment schedule for our salary dues. If we don't find their explanation satisfactory, we will file a winding up petition in the court under section 433 of the Companies Act," the sources told PTI. 

The decision was taken following a meeting of the Kingfisher Airlines Maintenance Engineers Association, which lasted for two hours in New Delhi. 

The staffers have also decided to write to the Kingfisher management asking them to sell assets of the airline and clear salary dues running into several months, they said.
