Close to bankrupt Kingfisher
Airlines’ Mumbai based pilots have decided to strike work until further notice
from Wednesday over non-payment of salaries.
"Mumbai-based pilots have decided to go on a strike from tomorrow (Wednesday) onwards due to management's failure to keep its promise on March salary payment," a source in the airline told PTI.

The anticipated strike by a segment
of pilots could slow down the private airline's flight calendar in a big mode,
he said.
Kingfisher has not paid salaries to
most of its employees, including pilots and engineers, since March this year. This
is the second time in the last few days that the pilots have decided to stay
away from work over non-payment of salaries.
The Vijay Mallya-led carrier, which
is currently operating around 100 flights per day, has most of its operations
from Mumbai and Delhi after the airline reduced the number of flights to almost
one fourth in the wake of financial crunch.
