Kingfisher engineers strike work

The engineers belongs to both management and non-management cadre,they said.

8220;The non-payment apparently could be because of some technical glitch. We are trying to figure out whether the problem of clearance of salaries is from the airline8217;s system or some back-end problem of the banks,8221; they said.

The strike has,however,not affected Kingfisher8217;s flight operations,the officials said.

Kingfisher Airlines had on April 9 said that it had paid December salary to all its staff. 8220;In fact,we paid the salaries of all employees on April 4 itself,8221; it had said.

Airline8217;s Chairman Vijay Mallya had then assured his employees that their salaries would be disbursed in a staggered manner from April 4 to 10.

The airline,which has salary accounts in HDFC Bank,Axis Bank and ICICI,has been operating a scaled down flight schedule of about 100 services each day.
