A day after employees of Kingfisher Airlines threatened to disrupt the Indian Premier League matches of Royal Challengers Bangalore,the airline chairman Vijay Mallya offered to pay them their salaries.

Mallya,who met two representatives of airline pilots and engineers in Delhi on Thursday,is learnt to have told employees that their salaries from June till January would be paid as soon as the company gets money from the Rs 11,000 crore Diageo deal.

The employees said they were convinced that their chairman was serious about reviving the airline.

This is the second time the airline has promised to release salaries. In October,Kingfisher Airlines CEO Sanjay Agarwal had promised employees that payment of their salaries will become regular from December 2012 after the employees threatened to disrupt the Formulae 1 race that was held in Noida.

Mallya is also believed to have said the employees that he was unaware that salaries since June have not paid to all the employees and assured them that he will speak to CFO regarding the same. Mallya also assured his employees that he expects positive developments to happen in coming week starting Monday.
