Kingfisher promises to resume operations in a few days - NewsX

Kingfisher Airlines, which has declared a partial lockout, today said it would resume operations in a few days and the backlog of March salary would be given to its employees soon. Top officials of the airline, who met DGCA chief Arun Mishra, also exuded confidence that foreign airlines and other investors were ready to invest in the beleaguered carrier. The airline had declared a partial lockout last night, grounding all its flights, after its engineers and pilots struck work on Friday to protest non-payment of salaries since March. A representative of the protesters said, "The airline management has made such promises earlier too but not fulfilled them. So, we have adopted a wait and watch policy." The airline CEO Sanjay Agarwal, who along with Executive Vice President Hitesh Patel met DGCA chief Arun Mishra, blamed a small section of employees for the mess, saying it had led to suspension of all operations till October four.
