A section of pilots of Kingfisher Airlines today went on a strike over non-payment of salary and other dues for the past five months, forcing cancellation of five flights. Airline officials said the pilots who did not report to work were those who operate the 70-seater ATR turboprop aircraft on short-haul routes connecting regional airports. In Delhi, two flights each to Dharamsala and Dehradun and one flight to Shimla have been cancelled by the Vijay Mallya-owned airline since this morning.
