Grounded Kingfisher Airlines on Monday made a last-ditch attempt to preempt a hunger strike threat by its employees, by asking them to wait till Thursday, as airline expects some positive outcome from the hearing on the winding up petition against it, say sources.
The Karnataka High Court is slated to hear the winding up petition by six creditors to the airline on Wednesday.
As many as 100 city-based employees of the crippled airline have threatened to go on hunger strike from tomorrow, demanding payment of salaries which have not been paid for the past 14 months. The airline was grounded last October. Incidentally, the airline’s annual general meeting is also scheduled in Bangalore.
